No open housing-code citations on file, but winter heating calls and indoor air quality signals within three blocks shape the lived experience.
A 49-unit Clinton Hill rental built in 1930 and managed by Alwest Management LLC, which recorded a $13.5M deed transfer in May 2026. While the building carries no open housing-code violations, recurring winter heat outages and surrounding block patterns highlight specific lived-experience friction points. Three things to know:
Winter heat complaints group into building-wide disruption events. 31 heat and hot water complaints have been logged over the last three years, including multiple building-wide calls in January 2026. While all are now closed without open citations, winter heating remains the primary operational friction point inside the building.
Surrounding air quality calls point to localized vapor and odor drift. 13 indoor air quality complaints were logged within three blocks over the last 12 months. Vapor and odor signals in multi-family blocks often point to riser or shaft drift from nearby ground-floor commercial spaces that impact specific lines.
Surrounding block activity centers on residential banging and pounding calls. 130 residential noise complaints were logged within three blocks over the last 12 months, predominantly driven by 91 banging and pounding reports alongside 32 loud party calls. Surrounding block activity makes apartment orientation key.
