A five-unit walk-up carrying open mold violations while ground-floor food venting and block noise spill into the units.
This five-unit walk-up sits on Manhattan Avenue in Williamsburg. The footprint is small, but the open violations and surrounding block patterns carry clear lived-experience warnings for prospective tenants. Three things to know:
Open code citations flag active bathroom mold and missing detector hardware. Inspectors issued a Class B violation in June 2026 for visible bathroom mold on the wall and ceiling of Apartment 3. The file also carries open February 2026 citations for missing or inoperable carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, plus a missing annual bedbug report filing.
Ground-floor food venting and cooking fumes bleed into surrounding residential lines. Within three blocks of the building, 9 food establishment calls were logged over the past year, running through August 2026. Cooking odors and exhaust fumes from ground-floor kitchens frequently rise through shared air shafts and light wells into living spaces above.
Late-night music and sidewalk sound spill over from the surrounding blocks. Within three blocks, neighbors filed 230 residential noise complaints and 102 street noise complaints over the last 12 months. The vast majority target late-night party music and street chatter, making window exposure critical for sleeping quarters.
