The building carries two open bedbug paperwork violations, while the surrounding block sees heavy night sound and commercial kitchen venting.
An 8-unit Bushwick walk-up held by Carmel Equities LLC since August 2001. While the building's operational file carries two open administrative violations, the surrounding block handles significant late-night party sound and commercial exhaust calls. Three things to know:
Heavy music and street party calls dominate the immediate area. Within three blocks, residents logged 220 residential-noise calls and 209 street-noise complaints over the last 12 months. The vast majority cite loud music and parties, making unit placement and window sealing essential.
Food-establishment calls point to potential riser and courtyard odor bleed. Within three blocks, 12 food-establishment calls were logged in the last year, running through September 17, 2026. Kitchen exhausts and food odors routinely bleed through light wells and rear courtyards in brick walk-ups.
Two open administrative violations mark overdue bedbug disclosures. The building carries two open Class A violations from June 2025 and May 2026 for failing to submit its annual bedbug report. These represent missing administrative paperwork rather than active infestation orders, but they remain open on the file.
