Decades of single-family continuity meet an administrative paper trail and active commercial block friction.
An 1899 three-family building carrying eight open violations stemming from administrative lapses rather than physical defects like leaks or heat outages. Decades of Clark family ownership show long continuity, but surrounding blocks carry active retail and curb activity. Three things to know:
Open violations stem from missing filings, not physical defects. The building carries 8 open code violations, but every single one is administrative rather than a physical maintenance defect. The file shows a repeating pattern of missing annual property registration statements and unfiled annual bedbug reports stretching across recent years.
Surrounding food establishment calls signal kitchen odor potential. Within three blocks, 15 food establishment calls were logged over the last year, with the most recent filed September 6, 2026. Restaurant exhaust, kitchen venting, and cooking odors frequently travel up air shafts and exterior walls, making riser and exhaust proximity a key indoor-air factor.
Curb friction and street noise concentrate on surrounding blocks. Within three blocks, double-parked vehicles and commercial chatter run high. Filings over the last year include 220 illegal parking complaints—mostly posted sign violations and blocked bike lanes—alongside 168 residential noise and 143 street noise calls.
