Small Chelsea rental with no open violations, framed by heavy surrounding street activity.
A 6-unit building constructed in 1925 that carries zero open violations. The property has remained under the same ownership entity since 1998, keeping the physical structure clean while street activity concentrates in the surrounding neighborhood. Three things to know:
Sidewalk and street activity dominate the immediate three blocks. Over the last 12 months, 810 encampment calls were logged within three blocks, with the most recent filed on August 24, 2026. This is a massive street-level volume compared to city averages, making block activity a key part of living here.
The building maintains a clean operational file. The building currently carries zero open housing or building violations. For a small pre-war property, maintaining a record with no unresolved orders suggests issues get handled directly before enforcement occurs.
Street-level noise signals are concentrated on surrounding blocks. Within three blocks, neighbors logged 69 street-noise reports and 63 general noise calls over the past year. Sidewalk chatter and street traffic carry easily into front-facing units, so apartment position matters.
