Solid pre-war bones, but recurring building-wide heat issues and a heavy-traffic corridor define the lived experience here.
This 18-unit pre-war building is managed by Alma Realty. While the administrative record is stable, chronic winter heat issues and some specific corridor odor and parking patterns tell the real story of this block of Southern Boulevard. Three things to know:
The heat system has a chronic winter paper trail. Tenants have registered 27 heat and hot water complaints here. Crucially, multiple calls cite entire-building outages, including a major freeze reported in late February and another following in April 2026. This is a clear signal that the central steam system struggles when temperatures bottom out.
Air quality and kitchen smells drift through the immediate corridor. The immediate three-block corridor has shown persistent air quality friction, logging 5 indoor air quality complaints and 3 food establishment complaints in the last 12 months. When odors and commercial kitchen exhaust bleed up through the building's risers, it is notoriously hard to fix. The most recent indoor air complaint was filed on July 3, 2026.
A frantic double-parking corridor right outside the door. The block is highly contested, with 151 illegal parking complaints in the three-block corridor over the past year. This isn't long-term vehicle storage—75 of the calls are for posted sign violations and another 17 are for double-parked cars blocking traffic, meaning cars are constantly pulling in and out right below the windows.
