Six open violations, active electrical complaints, and localized top-floor roof issues.
This pre-war Upper East Side rental has a manageable footprint of 18 units, but its recent record shows specific pockets of operational friction. Half of its outstanding violations are immediately hazardous, and a recent wave of neighborhood air quality complaints warrants a close look. Three things to know:
Half of the building's active violations are immediately hazardous Class C filings. City inspectors currently log six active violations against the property, with three flagged as immediately hazardous. The issues are heavily concentrated on the top floor. In apartment 7W, inspectors cited a mouse infestation, a roof leak dripping into the ceiling, and defective bathtub glaze. Right outside, the roof door was written up for missing self-closing hinges and an illegal panic bar blocking re-entry to the public hall.
Odors and venting issues trigger 15 air quality and food establishment reports within three blocks. Over the last year, people in the three blocks around the building logged nine food establishment complaints and six indoor air quality reports. These often point to commercial kitchens venting improperly, sending odors and fumes through shared walls or HVAC systems. In a pre-war building, these smells can easily migrate up the risers into your apartment.
Three active electrical complaints have been filed since May 2026. Tenants have reported wiring issues three times in just a few months, with the most recent open complaint logged on July 21, 2026. When a small pre-war building gets multiple electrical calls in a short window, it's often a sign that the building-wide electrical panels are struggling to handle summer air conditioning loads.
