Longtime family ownership on paper, paired with open code violations and high-traffic West Village street life.
An 1827 West Village rowhouse with three residential units that has stayed in the exact same family hands for thirty years. The building carries eight open code violations—mostly recurring paperwork items—while the surrounding blocks see steady food venting and street activity. Three things to know:
Decades of family title, burdened by missing annual filings. The property transferred to a family trust in October 2023 for $2.97M after being bought in 1996. The building carries eight open code violations, driven entirely by unfiled annual bedbug reports and missing property registration statements.
Restaurant and food-establishment venting active on surrounding blocks. Within three blocks, food establishment complaints logged 34 calls over the last year, with the most recent filed September 17, 2026. Nearby commercial kitchens and food venting can bleed grease odors and heat through shared shafts or rear windows.
High-volume sidewalk and street activity right outside. Within three blocks, street-level activity is heavy: 246 encampment calls, 204 panhandling reports, and 188 residential-noise complaints over the past year. High foot traffic and nightlife spillover shape the immediate block experience.
