An 1885 Bed-Stuy townhouse carrying front-yard refuse violations, unfiled ownership registrations, and nearby commercial kitchen calls.
An 1885 two-family Bedford-Stuyvesant townhouse that has stayed under family ownership for years. Small residential properties like this rarely generate heavy tenant paperwork, but recent filings show active friction around front-yard upkeep, unfiled registration paperwork, and commercial food exhaust nearby. Three things to know:
Refuse has been piling up in the front yard. Four trash complaints were logged against the lot, culminating in a June 2026 code violation to clear accumulated refuse from the front yard. A separate complaint in July 2026 flagged the property as open and unguarded.
The owner has failed to maintain a valid registration statement. Two unfiled registration violations remain open against the property from December 2024 and November 2025. Without a valid registration on file, the property faces statutory civil penalties.
Commercial food exhaust fires in the immediate neighborhood. 7 food-establishment complaints were logged within three blocks over the last year. Kitchen fumes and exhaust bleed through risers or open windows depending on unit height and proximity to commercial kitchens down the street.
