Small East Village walk-up where commercial signage calls dominate the address file, while street life stays busy within three blocks.
A five-unit East Village walk-up with ground-floor commercial space, held by Simon Blitz since a $3.781M purchase in September 2016. Three things to know:
Commercial signage filings account for almost the entire direct address history. 11 complaints targeted signs, awnings, and flex banners at this address between March 2025 and October 2025. Descriptors focus on unpermitted commercial signs and banners in danger of falling, pointing to storefront compliance friction rather than residential apartment issues.
Street-level congestion and curb calls concentrate right around the block. Within three blocks of the building, city response logs show 284 illegal parking calls over the last year — dominated by 162 blocked bike lane complaints — alongside 274 encampment reports. The volume reflects intense Fourth Avenue curb and sidewalk activity right outside.
