The building carries few filings of its own, but commercial venting and nightlife noise dominate the three blocks around it.
This 11-unit pre-war walk-up carries zero open housing-code violations, but block-level activity tells the main story. While complaints against the building itself are rare, surrounding commercial spaces and restaurants generate steady noise and air-quality calls. Three things to know:
Food service and air-quality complaints cluster on nearby blocks. Within three blocks, 48 food establishment complaints and 12 indoor air quality reports were filed over the past year. Exhaust, kitchen fumes, and air recirculation are common invisible friction points in mixed-use corridors.
Commercial noise and music run close to the address. 147 commercial noise complaints were logged within three blocks over the past year, led by 79 loud music or party calls and 21 pounding reports. The building stays off the complaint logs, but surrounding nightlife keeps the block active.
A brief building-wide heat drop hit in February 2026. Two heat and hot water complaints came in on a single afternoon in February 2026 for the entire building, paired with a water supply call. Both were closed promptly, pointing to a brief systemic hiccup rather than an ongoing fight.
