12 open violations and surrounding air quality issues complicate the record for this Mott Haven rental.
This 33-unit Mott Haven pre-war carries open housing-code citations alongside heavy street noise and air-quality calls in the surrounding blocks. 12 open violations sit on the building, including a Class C entry door safety issue in a single unit. Three things to know:
A single fifth-floor unit accounts for 10 open housing-code violations. Inspectors logged a Class C open violation on April 30, 2026, for defective entrance door hinges in Apt 5B. That same visit generated Class B citations across the unit for extensive plaster damage, defective tile, and over 10 square feet of bathroom mold.
15 neighborhood air-quality and food-establishment calls point to exhaust bleed. Within three blocks of the building, residents logged 12 food establishment complaints and 3 indoor air quality calls over the past year. Kitchen venting and air quality complaints in dense blocks often bleed through lower floors or shared shafts.
333 sidewalk and residential noise complaints clear the surrounding three blocks.
