A 2-unit Kips Bay walk-up where winter heating complaints and ground-floor commercial activity dominate the record.
A 2-unit walk-up sitting above ground-floor commercial space in Kips Bay, carrying one open maintenance violation for garbage at the front entry alongside a brief winter heat wobble. The ground-floor retail and 2nd Avenue curb activity shape most of the daily friction. Three things to know:
A December 2025 heat and power cluster was building-wide but resolved quickly. Three heat and hot water complaints and an electrical outage hit the building in December 2025. All four reports were logged as building-wide issues, but they resolved that same month and no new heat calls have been logged since.
Ground-floor retail and area eateries generate noticeable fumes and air quality reports. 13 food establishment calls within three blocks over the last year point to active commercial kitchen exhaust nearby, reinforced by a January 2026 complaint for idling vehicle fumes at the property and two complaints regarding the ground-floor bodega.
Heavy double-parking and loading activity define the 2nd Avenue blockface. 149 illegal parking complaints within three blocks over the last year concentrate heavily on double-parking blocking traffic and loading zone violations, bringing steady vehicle turnover directly outside the front entrance.
