Regulated affordable housing with a clean violation file, but winter heat calls and heavy block noise shape the experience.
This 15-unit pre-war building operates as regulatory-affordable housing under a LIHTC/HUD structure, meaning rents and governance are tied to regulatory oversight rather than market speculation. Zero open code violations sit on the file, but recent winter heat complaints and heavy surrounding block noise set the baseline. Three things to know:
Repeated winter heat complaints point to occasional boiler trouble. 8 calls for heat and hot water came in over the last two winters, including building-wide outages in December 2025 and February 2026. While the issues were addressed without triggering formal citations, winter heat stability remains the primary operational variable inside the building.
The surrounding three blocks carry heavy noise volume. 769 residential noise complaints and 373 street noise calls were logged within three blocks over the last 12 months. With 578 calls specifically reporting banging or pounding and 280 for loud street music, late-night street noise travels directly up the block.
