Loft-style walk-up sitting directly on Canal Street, run by the same family interests for over forty years.
This property sits directly above the legendary Scrap Yard art supply shop. The same family interests have held the building since at least 1985, keeping the physical structure free of major housing complaints while managing an intense stretch of the neighborhood. Three things to know:
Street and commercial noise is intense and constant. With 204 street-noise complaints within three blocks last year—mostly loud music and late-night talking—the outdoor volume is a factor. Commercial noise also logged 146 calls in the same period, driven by storefront activity along the canal-facing commercial strips.
Fumes and restaurant venting show up on the surrounding blocks. With 15 complaints about food establishments within three blocks last year, concentrated around the active restaurant spaces, and 4 for indoor air quality, neighborhood fumes are a persistent issue. Commercial kitchen odors can easily bleed through building risers and vents in close-packed structures.
Zero open housing-code violations and decades of family ownership. The building itself carries zero open housing-code violations. The long-term family interests are still active, with their partnership filing a plumbing permit in September 2025 to update the lines. The property is also tied to the ground-floor art shop, which transferred to Scrap Yard Holdings for $15,000 in January 2018.
