Two open housing violations—including an unresolved hazardous pest order—share space with heavy residential noise and commercial kitchen air-quality calls in the surrounding three blocks.
Four-unit 1927 brick building in the Bronx that transferred for $1.6M in August 2022, ending decades of single-family ownership. While the building itself has a small paper footprint, open hazardous housing violations and surrounding air-quality and noise patterns deserve a close look. Three things to know:
Open hazardous violations point to unaddressed roaches in unit 2R and an exposed skylight. The file carries two open code citations, led by an April 2024 Class C immediately hazardous order to abate roaches in apartment 2R. A second Class B violation from July 2026 flags missing protective mesh under the second-story skylight. In a compact four-unit structure, pests and skylight defects easily affect adjacent apartments.
Nearby food establishment calls point to odor and air-quality drift on the block. 23 food establishment complaints and 4 indoor air quality reports were logged within three blocks over the last 12 months, signaling commercial kitchen exhaust and odor drift in the immediate area. In multi-unit buildings, airborne grease, fumes, and odors frequently travel upward through shared shafts and floor joists.
Heavy impact banging and double-parking dominate the three blocks around the building. 187 residential noise complaints were filed within three blocks over the past year, with 157 explicitly citing heavy banging and pounding. Coupled with 92 illegal parking calls—mostly double-parked vehicles blocking moving traffic—the immediate streetscape carries significant daily friction.
