Small Clinton Hill walk-up where the surrounding blocks show heavy sidewalk friction and recurring air quality calls.
Eight-unit Clinton Hill walk-up built in 1940. While the building carries no open housing-code violations, the surrounding blockfaces log heavy sidewalk encroachment and persistent indoor air quality reports. Three things to know:
Sidewalk blockages dominate the surrounding street grid. 4,008 illegal parking complaints logged within three blocks over the last year. 3,687 of those calls specifically report blocked sidewalks, alongside 210 posted sign violations and 33 blocked bike lanes, pointing to heavy sidewalk encroachment near the corner.
Indoor air quality reports surface in the immediate area. 5 indoor air quality complaints and 4 air quality calls were logged within three blocks over the last year, with the most recent air quality filing on July 23, 2026. Odor and air-quality issues usually point to ground-floor retail venting or shared shaftway drift that tenants only discover after move-in.
The surrounding area sees regular residential noise calls. 155 residential noise calls reported within three blocks over the trailing 12 months. The volume leans heavily toward loud music and parties (93 calls) alongside structural banging and pounding (49 calls), showing active evening sound on surrounding blockfaces.
