345 South End Avenue, Manhattan

A massive waterfront rental complex with some heavy localized friction in the active city files.

A sprawling Battery Park City rental complex where active utility issues and a localized apartment fire demand extra vigilance. While a high-volume building of this size usually handles operational flow, recent filings reveal significant localized friction. Three things to know:

A fire in June left one apartment under an active vacate order. City inspectors officially shut down Apartment 4F on July 2, 2026, after fire damage knocked out the unit's gas and electricity. While that specific issue is localized, the building carries 16 open violations, including five immediately hazardous Class C issues like defective self-closing apartment doors.

Active complaints highlight ventilation and air quality issues. Residents have filed eight air quality complaints and six food establishment complaints. Several filings from July 2026 specifically flag the ventilation system, indicating that kitchen odors or exhaust might be bleeding into apartments through the shared vents.

Discolored water has been flowing from taps this summer. An active hazard violation from July 25, 2026, flags discolored water at a bathroom sink and tub. That aligns with 14 water system complaints and three water quality calls logged against the building, including fresh reports of dirty water in late July.

Quieter signals on this building and the blocks around it:

• 73 noise calls within three blocks last year, mostly flagging boat engines and music on the water
• 93 illegal parking calls within three blocks over the last year, mostly posted parking sign violations
• 23 water system calls within three blocks last year, with more than half flagging dirty water
• Waterfront living brings localized harbor sounds and street-level parking scrambles.
