Four Class C hazardous violations are currently open, including broken basement steps and lead paint.
In a 22-unit pre-war rental, seven open code violations aren't a massive stack, but four of them are Class C immediately hazardous citations. The active issues point to basic physical hazards on the front steps alongside lingering pest and heat issues. Three things to know:
Hazardous open violations center on broken basement stairs and apartment safety gear. In June 2026, inspectors cited missing and broken metal treads on the front basement stairs. That sits alongside older unresolved citations in unit A2 for a roach infestation, missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and an uncertified lead paint violation from June 2024.
Commercial food venting and air quality complaints show up on the surrounding blocks. Within three blocks, residents have filed 10 food establishment complaints and 7 indoor air quality reports over the last 12 months. Restaurant venting, cooking odors, and chemical vapors often drift through shared risers or rear yards, making floor position and air-shaft proximity key.
Heat outages and pest calls crop up in the building's maintenance log. Building-wide heat and hot water outages logged multiple complaints through April 2026, including an open filing on April 30. Unsanitary condition reports also mark the record, led by 11 pest complaints across recent seasons.
