A fresh $8.6M sale paired with 10 open housing violations and an August 2026 surge in heat, door, and plumbing complaints.
This 28-unit East Village walk-up changed hands in March 2026 for $8.6M. Mid-2026 filings show core system issues alongside active food-establishment calls. Three things to know:
Heat outages and safety-detector citations flared in mid-2026. Sixteen heat and hot water complaints were logged over the last year, capped by a building-wide outage complaint in August 2026. Code citations in May and August 2026 also flagged missing or defective carbon monoxide and smoke detectors across several apartments, plus an August Class C violation for a defective self-closing entrance door hinge in Apt 15.
Nearby food-establishment activity risks exhaust and odor drift. Twelve food establishment complaints hit the surrounding three blocks over the last year, running alongside 14 smoking or vaping reports nearby. In a pre-war walk-up, commercial kitchen venting and smoke drift frequently travel through internal risers and air shafts into individual apartments.
