Steven Croman's Centennial Properties runs this pre-war walk-up, which currently carries 11 open hazardous violations.
Located just a half-block from Central Park, the 20-unit building's address is highly desirable, but the operational record is highly active. With 21 open violations and a notorious landlord history, tenants have had to bring in inspectors for basic needs like hot water and kitchen appliances. Three things to know:
Steven Croman is the registered head officer of this building. While day-to-day management is handled by Centennial Properties, Croman is one of the city's most historically scrutinized landlords. Having a high-profile, litigation-heavy operator behind the building means you have to be prepared to document everything.
11 open Class C violations point to deferred maintenance. The building has 21 open violations, with over half flagged in the immediately hazardous category. Recent July 30, 2026 write-ups include missing hot water in a first-floor unit, defective foyer floors, broken self-closing apartment doors, and a missing window guard. Even a kitchen stove was flagged as completely missing in a fifth-floor unit this past June.
Five indoor air quality reports within three blocks. Five indoor air quality reports have been logged in the three blocks around the building over the past year. While only one was flagged against this building directly, air quality issues and chemical vapors in pre-war blocks often point to persistent HVAC leaks, kitchen exhaust issues, or riser bleed that can easily seep into adjacent apartments.
