Long-held Williamsburg walk-up where management keeps the building clean of code filings while sidewalk friction concentrates nearby.
Nine-unit Williamsburg rental built in 1931 with long-term family ownership ties extending back decades. Head officer Gitty Katz appears on property deeds for the address dating to 1993. Three things to know:
Block activity concentrates on sidewalk blockages and trash pickups. 99 illegal-parking complaints were logged within three blocks over the last year, with 50 specifically targeting blocked sidewalks rather than double-parked cars. Another 35 calls reported missed trash pickup across the same radius. While the building's own record stays thin, street-level sidewalk bottlenecks are common right outside.
Building maintenance stays off code enforcement logs. The address carries no open housing violations or open construction permits. For a 1931 walk-up with nine units, keeping operational filings near zero reflects management that resolves maintenance directly before issues turn into formal complaints.
