Waterfront 256-unit tower with open mold and pest violations, backed by a steady drumbeat of resident noise calls.
Built in 1978 on the Two Bridges waterfront, this 256-unit high-rise sits right off South Street near the East River bridges. The building carries 10 open housing-code violations, including two Class C citations for mold and roaches. Three things to know:
Active Class C violations for mold and roaches point to unresolved leaks. Inspectors recently logged Class C violations for mold spreading over 20 square feet in a 7th-floor apartment and active roach infestations on the 4th floor. Additional Class B citations highlight unaddressed leaks and damaged plaster in 5th-floor kitchens and bathrooms.
Banging and pounding drive a steady stream of indoor noise calls. 27 noise complaints have been called in from inside the building over the past year, almost exclusively logged as internal banging and pounding. It is a specific, persistent internal disruption rather than street-level traffic.
The surrounding waterfront block stays active with parking and noise traffic. Within three blocks, there were 107 residential banging complaints in the last year, leading a busy neighborhood profile. Ground-level parking violations and blocked hydrants line the surrounding curb space, adding constant movement around the entrance.
