A 1920s East Harlem walk-up with a mostly light file, but one open high-priority pest issue needs attention before signing.
A 22-unit walk-up on East 96th Street with a relatively thin operational file, but it carries an open immediately hazardous violation that needs addressing. Three things to know:
An open Class C pest violation sits on the record from May 2026. Housing inspectors cited an active roach infestation in Apartment 2RE in May 2026, and it remains open as an immediately hazardous Class C violation. While the building's overall violation history is low, an unresolved pest order on the record means management hasn't cleared the city's follow-up requirement.
A cluster of late-night party complaints hit early last year. Residential noise calls from the building spiked early last year, with seven complaints clustered around February 2025 citing late-night music and parties. While building-scoped complaints have cooled since, double-parking and street noise remain active on the immediate block.
