Zero open housing code violations on file, but heavy street encampment volume and commercial kitchen venting define the surrounding blocks.
This 34-unit 1910 prewar sits off Union Square. While the building's own operational file carries zero open housing violations, heavy street activity and commercial food venting define the immediate surroundings. Three things to know:
Street activity and encampment calls cluster on surrounding blocks. Within three blocks of the building, municipal records show 1,303 encampment calls and 213 requests for homeless person assistance over the last 12 months. Driven by foot traffic along Third Avenue and Union Square, street exposure varies sharply depending on which way the apartment faces.
Commercial food establishment venting creates localized odor and air-quality drift. Within three blocks, 26 food establishment calls were logged over the last year, with the most recent filed September 19, 2026. Commercial cooking odors and exhaust fumes frequently travel up shafts or lightwells, making vertical position and riser exposure a critical move-in detail.
Short-term rental inspection flags and delivery staging affect common areas. An April 2025 inspection flag noted illegal hotel room activity inside the property, alongside recent driver and bike lane calls outside. In a 34-unit prewar layout, short-term turnover directly impacts front-door security and hallway foot traffic.
