Open class C violations and commercial exhaust patterns shape this 9th Avenue Hell's Kitchen walk-up.
A 13-unit Hell's Kitchen walk-up sitting above 9th Avenue retail, managed under Mark Scharfman's entity since 2004. Open code violations and surrounding commercial activity mean you need to watch the details. Three things to know:
Three open violations on file, including two Class C hazardous items. Three housing-code citations remain active against the property: two Class C immediately hazardous violations for missing or defective self-closing doors leading to the north yard and inside apartment 5A, alongside a Class B violation for broken ceramic floor tiles in the first-story public hall.
Surrounding restaurant exhaust and air quality calls show block-level riser bleed. 26 food establishment complaints and 9 indoor air quality calls within three blocks point to active restaurant exhaust and odor bleed along the 9th Avenue commercial strip. In a turn-of-the-century walk-up, retail venting and kitchen odors travel directly through light wells and utility risers.
