Seven open housing-code citations and a Class C immediately hazardous entry mark this 20-unit East Village walk-up.
This 20-unit East Village walk-up has been under the same family ownership since 1979. While four decades of continuous family holding brings ownership stability, open housing-code violations and block-level air quality calls show operational friction. Three things to know:
Seven open code citations, including an immediately hazardous Class C entry. Seven open housing-code citations sit on the record, headlined by a December 2025 Class C violation for a defective self-closing entrance door. Other open cases cover broken bathroom ceramic tiles, ceiling light fixtures, and missing radiator shut-off knobs in specific apartments.
14 interior noise complaints, compounded by heavy street music nearby. 14 residential noise complaints came from inside the building over the past year, heavily concentrated in banging and late-night party volume. Within three blocks, 357 residential noise calls occurred over 12 months, mostly driven by music and parties on surrounding street faces.
Block-level air quality and food establishment calls suggest riser exhaust drift. Within three blocks, 12 indoor air quality calls and 7 food establishment complaints were logged in the last 12 months. Odors and vapors often move through shared risers or venting shafts in older walk-ups, making air circulation a key variable depending on unit position.
