22 open violations — led by 8 Class C immediately hazardous citations — show serious maintenance backlog in this 16-unit HDFC rental.
This 16-unit pre-war rental operates under an HDFC housing framework, keeping regulatory oversight active and ownership stable. Operational friction is visible in the file, with 22 open code violations on record — including 8 Class C immediately hazardous citations. Three things to know:
A single unit accumulated 15 open violations in a single day. Code inspectors logged 15 separate violations for Apartment 3A on a single day in June 2026. The write-ups span exposed kitchen electrical wiring, active mice infestation, ceiling plaster leaks, defective fire escape window bars, broken intercom wiring, and bathroom mold. None of these citations are marked as resolved.
13 air quality and food-venting complaints surround the immediate block. Within three blocks of the building, neighbors logged 9 complaints regarding food establishments alongside 4 indoor air quality reports over the past year. Fumes, venting odors, and chemical vapors often travel upward through shared risers or light wells, making unit location relative to ground-floor commercial uses a key factor before signing.
Full-building heat outages logged during peak winter weeks. Residents called in 5 heat and hot water complaints between January and February 2026, with multiple logs reporting total building outages during freezing stretches. While no open heat violations remain active right now, heating reliability is an operational detail to verify.
