Repeated winter heat drops inside meet dense commercial dining and kitchen venting right outside.
This 11-unit pre-war rental sits on East Broadway in the Lower East Side. While housing code violation files currently lack enough recent data to verify open items, the operational history highlights winter heating drops and food-venting patterns across the block. Three things to know:
Building-wide heat and hot water complaints clustered in winter 2024–2025. Eight building-wide heat and hot water complaints were logged between December 2024 and January 2025, with the last outage call filed on January 9, 2025. Repeated entire-building drops during mid-winter cold snaps point to heating system reliability issues.
Nearby food establishment calls point to restaurant venting and odor drift. Within three blocks of the building, 18 food establishment complaints were filed over the trailing year, with the most recent logged August 30, 2026. Restaurant exhaust fumes and kitchen odor complaints often signal street-level venting drifting into lower-floor windows or air shafts.
Commercial noise and outdoor dining setups dominate the three-block radius. Within three blocks of the building, 195 commercial noise calls and 187 outdoor dining complaints were filed over the last year. Commercial noise calls mostly involved loud music and party crowds, while outdoor dining complaints centered on sidewalk setup conditions.
