A 9-unit Gramercy walk-up with an October heat surge and air-quality calls on the surrounding blocks.
A 9-unit pre-war walk-up near Stuyvesant Square. While the building carries no open code violations, late October brought a tight wave of heating complaints, and air-quality calls pop up along the surrounding block face. Three things to know:
A concentrated wave of heating calls hit during late October 2025. 11 heat and hot water calls were logged from this address over a single week in late October 2025, across both individual apartments and the entire building. The calls stopped immediately after October 30, pointing to an early-season boiler start-up bump rather than an ongoing winter trend.
Air quality and food establishment calls surface across the surrounding three blocks. 24 indoor air quality complaints and 7 food establishment calls were logged within three blocks over the last 12 months, with the most recent air-quality call firing on September 1, 2026. Dust from construction inside this building also triggered a complaint in April 2025. Airborne odors and dust drift usually travel through shared shafts and lightwells.
Encampment and street-level calls concentrate nearby. 284 encampment calls were logged within three blocks over the last year, alongside 193 parking complaints that mostly focus on posted sign violations rather than blocked driveways. Street-facing units take the brunt of block activity, whereas rear apartments stay buffered from sidewalk energy.
