The building generates very few code filings of its own, but surrounding blocks show active indoor air quality calls and curb friction.
This 20-unit pre-war building in the Bronx carries a thin operational file under Nick Vuksanaj, but surrounding blocks show specific indoor air and street patterns. The building itself stays out of housing code enforcement, making neighborhood signals the key context before moving in. Three things to know:
Air quality and food establishment calls cluster nearby. 11 indoor air quality complaints and 4 food establishment calls were logged within three blocks over the last 12 months. Indoor air signals often point to ventilation issues or cooking exhaust migration through risers and shared shafts.
Double-parking and sign violations dominate the streetscape. 224 illegal parking complaints were filed within three blocks over the past year. The pattern is heavily driven by 108 posted sign violations and 51 double-parking reports—short-term curb congestion rather than long-term vehicle storage.
Two winter heat calls mark the address record. The building recorded two building-wide heat and hot water complaints—one in November 2024 and another in January 2025. Both filings were resolved and closed, forming the main address-level operational record.
