A century-old two-family frame with a brief plumbing flare in early 2025 and an active surrounding block.
A 1901 two-family home in Van Nest where building filings are rare, but early 2025 brought a sharp indoor plumbing cluster alongside active block-level street activity. Three things to know:
A concentrated burst of leaks and sewer calls hit early last year. Between December 2024 and February 2025, eight water leak reports, sewer backups, and an open sewage issue hit this address, along with a mold report. The burst of complaints points to a real main line or cellar plumbing event that winter rather than routine tenant friction.
Street noise and parking friction dominate the surrounding blocks. 471 street-noise complaints were filed within three blocks over the last year, predominantly driven by loud music and parties. Another 214 calls targeted illegal parking, mostly blocked hydrants. The block carries active street energy day and night.
