Sixteen open code violations and persistent heat issues hang over this 10-unit building.
For a 10-unit Morningside Heights walk-up, the open violation citation count is heavy. 11 of the 16 open citations fall into Class C—the immediately hazardous category covering unaddressed hot water outages, defective self-closing doors, and mold. Three things to know:
Repeated hot water violations across multiple apartments. Inspectors cited the building repeatedly for missing hot water or temperatures exceeding the 130-degree legal cap. Building logs show 45 heat and hot water complaints, including entire-building outages during the winter season.
Active Class C mold violations cited on two different floors. Inspectors cited an active Class C mold condition covering over 10 square feet on a ceiling and wall in Apartment 2E. That follows another mold citation in 5W, pointing to ongoing water leaks traveling down the building line.
