A regulated affordable pre-war rental backed by federal programs, currently burdened by 61 open code violations and active pest and structural issues.
This 18-unit pre-war rental operates under federal affordable housing regulatory agreements. While the covenants keep ownership locked in place, operational maintenance shows severe strain, carrying 61 open housing code violations including 15 classified as immediately hazardous. Three things to know:
Immediately hazardous mold and pest infestations affect multiple apartments. In mid-August 2026, inspectors cited an immediately hazardous mold condition covering roughly 10 square feet of ceiling in apartment 1C, along with broken kitchen floor tiles. Similar Class C citations for active roach and mice infestations were issued across ground-floor and upper-story units in July 2026.
Surrounding food establishments generate neighborhood exhaust and riser bleed risk. Within three blocks of the building, 7 commercial food establishment complaints were logged in the last 12 months, with the most recent on August 27, 2026. Restaurant exhaust vents and kitchen risers can carry cooking odors or heat directly into neighboring apartments if shaftways are not properly sealed.
Curb space congestion and street-level noise dominate the surrounding three blocks. Within three blocks, street-level activity is heavy, led by 326 illegal parking calls over the last year—primarily posted sign violations and 55 blocked hydrants. Noise and sidewalk activity remain consistent along the surrounding blockface.
