A 32-unit East Village building with decades of single-family ownership, set on a block with steady party noise and restaurant venting calls.
This 32-unit East Village building has been tied to the same family ownership line since 1973. While maintenance filings directly against the building are minimal, the immediate surrounding block carries noticeable street and commercial activity. Three things to know:
Two winter heat outage calls on record, though both were closed without open violations. The building logged two building-wide heat and hot water complaints between December 2024 and November 2025. Both calls were marked closed without resulting in open code violations, but they highlight intermittent winter heating stumbles.
Heavy late-night music and party noise reports across the surrounding three blocks. Within three blocks, residents logged 251 residential noise calls over the last 12 months, driven by 199 complaints for loud music and parties. Another 74 street-noise complaints hit the same perimeter. The building itself stays out of these filings, but late-night street noise is an active local pattern.
Commercial kitchen and food establishment complaints surface along the surrounding blockface. The three blocks around the building logged 16 food establishment complaints over the past 12 months, with the most recent call recorded on July 17, 2026. Odor, heat, and exhaust from commercial kitchens can drift through shared light wells or light shafts, making apartment orientation essential.
