Zero open housing violations on the building, but commercial exhaust and dense street activity mark the surrounding blocks.
The building itself carries zero open housing violations, but the surrounding block experience is defined by heavy street activity and commercial air quality complaints. Within three blocks, street-level calls around encampments, graffiti, and commercial food exhaust run high. Three things to know:
Heavy street activity dominates the surrounding three blocks. 471 encampment calls and 155 graffiti complaints were logged within three blocks over the last year. Illegal parking calls in the same radius concentrate on hydrants (34 calls) and bike lanes (23 calls) rather than double-parked vehicles.
Commercial food exhaust and air quality calls cluster around the surrounding blockface. 33 food establishment complaints and 10 indoor air quality calls were logged within three blocks over the last 12 months. Restaurant venting and exhaust odors are common moving-in surprises in mixed-use areas that don't show up on building code filings.
Heating complaints follow a seasonal start-up pattern. Eight heat and hot water complaints were logged across late 2024 and late 2025, including building-wide outages in October 2024 and January 2025. All calls were resolved and closed without triggering open housing violations.
