Long-held East Village rental carrying three open housing code violations and elevated block-level street activity.
This 68-unit East Village building has been tied to the same family entity since 1983, with Capri Apartments LLC holding the deed since 1998 and Peter Davis listed as head officer. The address shows three open housing violations alongside direct street encampment reports. Three things to know:
Three open violations are active, including an immediately hazardous entry door issue. The building currently has three open housing violations. These include one class C immediately hazardous item for a defective self-closing entrance door at apartment 8F, a class B plaster and paint issue in the same apartment from November 2023, and an unfiled annual bedbug report notice from April 2026.
Neighborhood air quality and food establishment exhaust calls suggest potential riser bleed. Within three blocks, residents logged 31 food establishment calls and 13 indoor air quality calls over the last year. Commercial venting and kitchen odors can travel through line risers and light wells into residential units, making kitchen exhaust exposure an important item to check before signing.
Street-level activity and encampments cluster directly around the entrance. 1,157 encampment calls were logged within three blocks over the past 12 months. The building's own address accounts for eight of those complaints through August 2026, alongside street noise and trash reports, making block-level street activity a daily factor right outside the lobby door.
