A three-unit Smith Street townhouse sitting directly above a high-traffic retail corridor with an open window safety violation.
A 1901 three-unit townhouse on the Smith Street retail strip with decades of single-family ownership history. The building has low operational friction, but carries one open class C window violation on the third floor and sits on a heavily used commercial block. Three things to know:
An open hazardous window violation remains on the top floor. The building carries one open class C housing violation from July 2023 for a defective spring balance on a fire-escape sash in Apartment 3. A cluster of minor electrical outage reports was also logged for the building in May and June 2026.
Commercial kitchen exhausts and air quality calls dot the immediate radius. 17 commercial food establishment complaints and 5 indoor air quality calls were logged within three blocks over the last year. Street venting and kitchen exhausts along Smith Street can bleed into lower-floor residential units depending on shaft placement.
Smith Street retail traffic creates steady curb friction and noise. 197 illegal parking complaints were filed within three blocks over the last 12 months, driven by 59 blocked hydrants and 54 bike lane blockages. Another 60 street noise calls hit the same radius, mostly driven by loud music and parties.
