Winter heat interruptions and ground-level air quality reads dominate the address.
Built in 1913, this 14-unit Soundview rental sits along the Westchester Avenue commercial stretch. Building management keeps open housing-code violations off the board, but winter heat complaints and ground-floor commercial air quality require a closer look. Three things to know:
Heat and hot water complaints spike during cold snaps. 13 heat and hot water complaints were logged over the last 12 months, running through April 2026. Multiple calls reported entire-building outages during cold snaps. While all cases were marked closed, the winter concentration indicates a system that struggles when temperatures drop.
Surrounding food establishments bring air quality and venting issues. 14 air-quality and food-establishment calls were recorded within three blocks over the last year, including 9 food-establishment complaints and 5 indoor air quality flags. Restaurant venting and commercial exhaust along the commercial strip can travel into apartments through shafts or street-facing windows.
The surrounding commercial corridor carries high parking turnover. 237 illegal parking complaints were filed within three blocks over the last year, driven by 88 hydrant blockages and 32 double-parked vehicles along the commercial corridor. Active loading zones and delivery traffic keep the curb busy throughout the day.
