This Carnegie Hill co-op has a nearly silent city record.
Built in 1906, this is a co-op where issues are handled by the board and managing agent, not city agencies. A clean city record on a building this old isn't an accident; it points to a system of resolving problems internally. Three things to know:
The city finds very little wrong here, and when it does, it acts. The building has no open housing code violations. A single safety complaint about a window guard from November 2025 was investigated and closed by the city. It’s a sign of a responsive building, not a neglected one. One complaint about construction dust from October 2025 remains open.
The building itself shows no recent renovation work on file with the city. No permits for any work—from apartments to building systems—have been filed recently. For a building from 1906, this is notable. It could mean major work is far in the past, or it could mean it's coming up. The board's minutes and capital plan will tell the real story.
The 311 complaints are more about the sidewalk than the building. A cluster of seven complaints about food vendors on the street popped up in the summer and fall of 2025. That's neighborhood texture, not a building problem. Inside, the record is quiet, with just one banging noise complaint logged in December 2025.
