Small-scale Greenwich Village rental with clean internal operational records, though street-level foot traffic and surrounding commercial air-quality issues cluster nearby.
A four-unit Greenwich Village building sitting on University Place. Ownership transferred into a Cho family trust in April 2026, matching head officer James Cho. Three things to know:
Sidewalk activity lands right at the front door. Directly at this address, records include four encampment reports, two panhandling notices, and two homeless-assistance requests between May 2025 and January 2026. While marked closed, they highlight active street-level foot traffic outside the entrance.
Commercial food and indoor air calls concentrate within three blocks. Within three blocks over the last year, neighbors logged 24 food establishment calls and 8 indoor air quality reports. For upper-floor units, commercial exhaust and kitchen odor drift can travel up rear lightwells or shared ventilation shafts.
Parking sign violations and hydrant blocks dominate the surrounding streetscape. 252 illegal-parking calls were logged within three blocks over the last year, mostly posted parking sign violations (135 calls), blocked hydrants (47), and blocked bike lanes (39). Short-term curb obstruction is common along this stretch.
