A tiny five-unit building carrying an unusually dense stack of open hazardous code violations.
Across just five residential units, this building carries 44 open code violations. 27 of those are Class C immediately hazardous orders, covering lead paint, severe rodent and roach infestations, and missing window guards. Three things to know:
Active lead paint citations remain open on the official file. Inspectors issued Class C lead paint orders for Apt 3B on May 6, 2026, following earlier positive lead tests in 2025. These are top-tier hazardous violations that mandate certified containment and specialized cleanup practices.
Indoor air quality concerns surface on the surrounding blocks. Seven Indoor Air Quality calls were filed within three blocks over the past year. In small residential structures, indoor air complaints often stem from retail exhaust or shared building risers carrying fumes upwards.
Infestation orders span multiple floors in the building. Inspectors issued Class C orders for mice and roaches in Apt 3B on May 1, 2026, following similar roach orders in Apt 1 and Apt 2B in 2025. With only five apartments in the building, pest complaints span multiple floors.
