Active hazardous violations in a second-floor unit, local air quality friction, and a new multi-million-dollar transaction.
This Upper East Side rental is seeing a highly active year. With six open violations—including three immediately hazardous Class C issues—and multiple specialized city inspections, the file carries some real operational friction. There is also a brand-new financial agreement on the property. Three things to know:
A single second-floor apartment has been the focus of active hazardous violations. The city currently lists six open violations, three of which are immediately hazardous Class C issues. In April 2026, an inspector cited a second-floor apartment for an uncapped steam pipe and a total lack of hot water. This followed eleven building-wide heat and hot water complaints logged between January and May.
Local restaurant odors and air quality issues regularly trigger neighborhood complaints. Within three blocks, there were 22 complaints about food establishment venting and 7 about indoor air quality over the last year. Commercial kitchen exhaust and chemical fumes on mixed-use blocks often bleed up the building's utility risers directly into residential apartments.
Inspectors visited twice this year for highly unusual code violations. An inspection in April 2026 flagged illegal short-term hotel rooms here. Then in June 2026, another inspection was opened under the adult establishment category—a very rare code flag for a residential building. That case remains open.
The building changed hands in a multi-million-dollar deal this spring. A deed transfer went through for $4,601,172 on March 31, 2026, transferring the property to a new corporate entity alongside a $4.1 million agreement involving Flagstar Bank. When buildings shift ownership under bank agreements, day-to-day operations can change quickly.
