Unresolved electrical complaints inside match a loud, active street block outside.
This 10-unit pre-war rental carries no open housing-code violations, but active complaints point to unresolved outlet issues inside. Outside, street-level noise and neighborhood commercial venting shape the block's daily environment. Three things to know:
Unresolved electrical outlet complaints surfaced in early 2026. Three complaints were logged in February and March 2026 specifically regarding outlets and switches in living and bedroom areas. Those filings remain unresolved, marking the building's primary active internal issue.
Commercial food venting is active nearby. 17 food establishment complaints were logged within three blocks over the last 12 months, pointing to active kitchen and restaurant venting in the immediate commercial area. Exhaust fumes and cooking odors often drift up through shared courtwells or air shafts.
Late-night street sound dominates the block. 233 street-noise calls were logged within three blocks over the past year, dominated by loud music and outdoor gatherings (203 calls). Units facing 116th Street take the brunt of this late-night sidewalk activity.
