A Greenwich Village walk-up with seven open housing violations tied to a top-floor roof leak and high block-level food and nightlife activity.
A 16-unit Greenwich Village walk-up with longtime family ownership under Mahrokh Eshaghian. The building carries active open housing violations, active roof leaks, and heavy block-level street activity. Three things to know:
Seven open housing violations stem from a single top-floor roof leak. Inspectors issued seven open violations on June 24, 2026, including six Class B items and one Class C immediately hazardous violation for broken plaster in apartment 5RE. The citations stem from a leaking roof that damaged the ceiling and walls across the bathroom, foyer, and third room, along with missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.
Commercial kitchen venting and restaurant activity spill onto the block. Within three blocks, residents logged 32 food establishment complaints in the last 12 months, pointing to commercial kitchen exhaust and odor venting issues on the block. In addition, nine outdoor dining calls were filed against the building's sidewalk zone over the past year.
Nightlife noise and street activity cluster on surrounding blocks. 349 street-noise complaints and 228 encampment requests were filed within three blocks over the last year. The noise calls heavily cluster around late-night music and street parties outside nearby commercial venues.
