Winter heat outages and summer electrical blips dominate this East Village rental's history.
This 28-unit East Village pre-war rental stays out of major structural violations, carrying just two open B-class code items. The real friction lives in recurring winter utility dropouts and heavy block activity. Three things to know:
Heat and hot water dropouts recur every spring and winter. 75 heat and hot water complaints have been logged from this address over time, including multiple building-wide outages reported in April 2026. While HPD has closed out those calls without open violations, the pattern points to an aging boiler or delivery system that struggles during seasonal shifts.
Power blips cluster during summer heat waves. Seven electrical calls hit the building in recent years, including a cluster of power outage reports in June and July 2026. Four separate calls came in during a single week in mid-July alone, signaling potential riser or panel load issues during peak AC season.
The surrounding three blocks stay loud late into the night. 237 residential noise complaints were logged within three blocks in the last year, with 188 specifically for loud music and parties. Another 179 sidewalk noise calls and 174 illegal parking complaints — mostly bike lane blockages — paint a picture of dense, high-foot-traffic street life right outside.
