121 St Marks Place, Manhattan

Active St. Marks Place walk-up carrying ten open code violations alongside steady commercial noise and kitchen air exhaust from the block.

A 30-unit East Village walk-up on St. Marks Place sitting directly above commercial spaces. Ten open housing code violations point to ongoing water and pest issues, while ground-floor commercial activity pushes noise and kitchen air up into the building. Three things to know:

Unresolved bathroom mold, ceiling leaks, and mice cluster in specific lines. Ten open housing code violations sit on file, including four immediately hazardous class C items. The history centers on bathroom mold across multiple apartments (5, 19, and 23), active ceiling leaks in apartment 24, and open mouse infestations logged on the fourth and fifth floors.

Commercial venting and restaurant noise bleed directly into the residential space. Commercial operations directly impact daily living here. The building itself has logged 17 commercial noise calls over the past year. Within three blocks, surrounding properties carried 34 food establishment calls and 12 indoor air quality complaints over the last 12 months, reflecting heavy kitchen venting and odor drift across the strip.

Quieter signals on this building and the blocks around it:

• 290 street noise calls within three blocks over the last year, largely party music and street crowds
• Two unsanitary condition reports for pests logged in early 2026, both since closed
• One dirty tap water complaint filed for the building in August 2026
