Five-unit Upper West Side brownstone carrying nine open violations alongside neighborhood indoor air quality calls and heavy curb turnover.
A five-unit 1890 Upper West Side brownstone where long-term ownership traces back to Melinda Nix since the late 1970s. While direct tenant complaints against the building itself are nearly absent, unresolved code violations and neighborhood air-quality signals stand out. Three things to know:
Nine open violations are anchored by a top-floor skylight repair and missed filings. The building carries nine open violations, highlighted by an open class-C citation from September 2, 2025 for broken or defective skylight glass over the fifth-story public hall stairs. The rest of the open file stems from recurring missed annual property registrations and unfiled bedbug reports stretching back several years.
Surrounding blocks show recurring indoor air quality and food establishment reports. Within three blocks of the building, residents logged 11 indoor air quality calls and 7 food establishment complaints over the last year. These signals point to commercial kitchen exhaust or riser venting issues nearby that can drift into upper-floor residential lines.
Heavy street-level curb turnover dominates the surrounding three blocks. Within three blocks, 334 illegal parking calls were logged over the past year. The pattern is heavily dominated by short-errand curb pressure—specifically 178 blocked hydrant complaints and 84 posted sign violations—rather than long-term stored vehicles.
