Three open housing-code violations sit on the building's file from April 2026, including an immediately hazardous roach complaint in 2B.
A 56-unit Upper East Side rental built in 1975. The building maintains a low volume of official complaints, but three open housing violations from April 2026 and surrounding indoor air quality calls warrant a closer look. Three things to know:
An active Class C pest violation sits in apartment 2B. An April 27, 2026 inspection cited unit 2B with an immediately hazardous Class C violation to abate a roach infestation across the entire apartment. Two companion Class B violations were issued the same day for missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. All three remain open on the record.
Restaurant exhaust and air quality calls surround the immediate block. 33 food establishment complaints and 11 indoor air quality calls were logged within three blocks over the last 12 months. Restaurant exhaust and indoor air quality issues tend to bleed into residential lines through shared risers or rear lightwells, making floor position key.
Heat outages surface during cold snaps. Four heat and hot water complaints were logged over the last two winters, including a building-wide outage reported in April 2026. Paint and plaster calls hit the building around the same date, pointing to recent water leak or ceiling maintenance.
