Small Williamsburg rental with open entry-door violations and a block that draws steady street-level friction.
Eight units built in 1928, sitting right near the Williamsburg waterfront. The building's direct operational file is sparse, but two immediately hazardous citations were logged this July. Three things to know:
Two open class C violations issued on the same day in July. Two class C citations were written against the building on July 12, 2026. Both involve hook-and-eye devices installed to keep self-closing entrance and vestibule doors propped open — an immediate hazard under the housing code because self-closing doors prevent fire spread in public halls.
Nighttime party sound dominates the surrounding streets. 53 residential noise calls were logged in the three blocks around the building over the past year, mostly for loud music and late-night parties. 39 commercial noise complaints and 37 street noise calls were filed in the same footprint, making street-facing units far more vulnerable to neighborhood noise than those in the rear.
Curb space is heavily contested within three blocks. 101 illegal parking complaints were filed within three blocks over the last 12 months, driven by hydrants, crosswalks, and sidewalk blockages rather than overnight commercial parking. Another 51 blocked driveway calls hit the same area, pointing to tight curb management on the block.
