An 8-unit pre-war building carrying 37 open violations, including 15 immediately hazardous issues and a run of illegal hotel reports.
For a small townhouse with just eight apartments, 37 open violations is an unusually dense load. Over a third of these are Class C—the most severe tier—covering water leaks, broken windows, and a lack of heat reported this past winter. Even the ownership registration itself is flagged as invalid. Three things to know:
An inspection this February turned up a laundry list of issues concentrated in a single apartment. In Apartment 1A alone, inspectors wrote up a water leak rotting the kitchen ceiling, broken kitchen and bathroom ventilation systems, a broken window sash, and a defective stove gas line. There's also an open violation from February 21, 2026, for failing to provide heat from the central boiler. The building has struggled to keep up with basic structural health.
Seven separate complaints about illegal short-term rentals in an eight-unit building. Between January 2025 and May 2026, the city received seven reports of illegal hotel rooms operating here. In a townhouse this size, a constant stream of transient guests is hard to miss. The most recent complaint was filed in May 2026 and remains active under city investigation.
While the building is technically owned by an LLC, it has been in the same family since at least 1998. Ownership records show the property moving from Fred and Mark Militana in the late nineties, to Angelina Militana, and finally to a family-controlled LLC in 2012. Mark Militana remains listed as the head officer today. This is a long-held family asset, but they've fallen behind on paperwork—they were flagged in November 2025 for failing to keep a valid property registration on file.
