Institutional ownership keeps building-code issues light, but street activity dominates the surrounding block.
A 65-unit Washington Heights rental held by institutional medical-system affiliates since the late 1960s, with Royal Charter Properties on deed since 1999. Operational code filings against the building are sparse, though street-level noise dominates the surrounding blockface. Three things to know:
Two open class B violations on file, both isolated to apartment 3I. Only two open housing violations sit against the property, both issued on November 26, 2024 for small-area ceiling and wall mold in apartment 3I. Beyond those two class B items, operational code citations across 65 units are near-zero.
Street sound drives the surrounding three-block record. Within three blocks, street-level noise complaints reached 261 calls in the last 12 months, driven by loud music and party gatherings. Residential noise calls nearby added another 178, creating an active sound profile right outside the entrance.
A brief summer dirty-water cluster alongside hydrant calls. Seven water system reports came in during the trailing 12 months, including a summer dirty-water cluster in July 2025 and running hydrants on the block in March 2026. A pair of internal water leak reports from early 2026 were closed out promptly.
