An East Village corner with a notable operator name on the registration and highly active streets below.
This 32-unit pre-war rental sits on a busy stretch of Third Avenue. While the building's own paperwork is quiet with five open violations on file, the ground-floor retail presence and heavy street traffic outside dictate keeping a close eye on setup details. Four things to know:
Steven Croman is listed as the head officer. Anyone renting in Manhattan knows this name and its operational history. Although the building's current roster of open violations is small, seeing this name on the registration makes it exceptionally important to verify exactly who you call when a repair is needed.
A busy eating and drinking footprint on the ground floor. The building has a retail and dining presence on the ground floor, which has driven four food establishment complaints, five outdoor dining filings, and two food poisoning reports directly at this address. Ground-floor restaurant operations can vent heat, odors, and pests up through shared structural risers—friction that is hard to spot during a morning tour.
Highly concentrated street activity on the surrounding blocks. This stretch of Third Avenue sees heavy street activity, with 1,162 encampment reports logged nearby over the last year—representing a significant concentration of these calls citywide. The most recent report was filed on July 16, 2026, alongside 133 homeless assistance calls and 130 dirty condition reports on the surrounding blocks.
Heating complaints spiked early this year, alongside five open violations. The building currently carries five open violations on its file. While the operational record here has stayed relatively small for a pre-war property, heating remains a sensitive spot, with seven heat and hot water complaints logged—concentrating heavily in early 2026.
