The building's direct operational record is minimal, but street-level friction and commercial kitchen exhaust dominate the immediate block.
This 20-unit Chinatown pre-war stays out of operational code filings, but street activity and food-service exhaust define the immediate surroundings. Three things to know:
Heavy street activity and noise surround the immediate block. Within three blocks of the building, 200 encampment calls and 118 residential noise complaints were logged in the past 12 months. The noise calls split between 56 pounding reports and 54 loud music calls, making outdoor street activity the primary friction point on the surrounding blocks.
Commercial food venting creates localized odor and vapor friction. 6 food establishment calls and 4 indoor air quality reports were logged within three blocks over the last 12 months. Kitchen venting and food exhaust fumes bleed easily through lower risers and open lightwells in dense pre-war Chinatown blocks.
Direct operational filings against the property are sparse. Four graffiti calls and one building-wide heat call from January 2025 make up the building's entire direct complaint history over the past two years. Outside the building itself, 106 illegal parking complaints logged within three blocks reflect dense curb delivery activity.
