552 Broadway, Manhattan

A small SoHo loft building where street-level retail, sidewalk vendors, and ground-floor venting shape the living environment.

Four-unit loft building above Broadway retail in SoHo, where corporate filings trace back to the same owner entity for decades. Complete housing-code violation data is unverified for this address, but commercial street activity defines the front door. Three things to know:

Food vendors and street sales cluster right at the front entrance. 30 vendor-enforcement calls hit this specific address over the last year, driven almost entirely by food vendors setting up along the storefront. Combined with 272 vendor calls within three blocks, sidewalk congestion right outside the doorway is a daily factor.

Nearby food establishments and street vendors push commercial exhaust and kitchen odors toward residential lines. 36 food-establishment calls within three blocks highlight kitchen venting, trash placement, and exhaust odor patterns typical of dense SoHo commercial blocks. In a small four-unit loft structure, lower-level commercial venting can rise along air shafts or rear facades into residential windows.

A major alteration permit was filed in mid-2025. An Alteration Type 1 permit was issued in May 2025 under Royal Crosspin Corp. Detailed housing-code violation history is unverified for this building, making a thorough physical walk-through essential to inspect layout and mechanical updates.

Quieter signals on this building and the blocks around it:

• 1,046 illegal parking calls within three blocks, mostly posted sign violations and blocked hydrants along Broadway
• 206 street-noise calls recorded within three blocks over the last year, primarily loud music and sidewalk crowds
