Nine open code violations, active roaches in a shared bathroom, and recurring registration lapses define the file.

Pests and mold are open in shared building spaces The building carries an open Class C immediately hazardous violation for roaches in a 3rd-story shared bathroom, alongside two open Class B tickets for active mold conditions covering over 10 square feet across basement and upper-floor community bath walls.
Food odors and air quality calls clear 20 reports on surrounding blocks Within three blocks, 12 food establishment complaints and 9 indoor air quality calls were filed in the last year. Ground-floor commercial venting and riser air transfer can bleed cooking odors into living spaces above.
Property registration filings have repeatedly lapsed Administrative citations were logged in late 2024 and late 2025 for failing to file valid annual property registrations. A missing registration blocks an owner from legally certifying violation fixes or taking certain rent adjustments.
