Active vacate orders affect four of six apartments following fire damage in July 2026.
A six-unit pre-war building usually carries a light file, but this address is dealing with structural safety orders and open citations across multiple apartments. Eleven of its 20 active citations sit in the immediately hazardous category following recent fire damage. Three things to know:
Four of the building's six units sit under active vacate orders. Inspectors issued vacate orders for apartments 1R, 2R, and 3R in July 2026 following fire damage to walls and ceilings. Apartment 3L was also hit with a vacate order in May 2026, leaving four of the building's six units officially uninhabitable.
Citations cover fire damage, shut-off utilities, and lost water service. The July 2026 inspections yielded 11 Class C hazardous citations. Alongside fire damage, inspectors cited the building for missing gas supply to ranges, unsafe electrical outlets, and lack of hot and cold water in specific units.
Ventilation and air quality issues crop up on the surrounding block. Over the last year, neighbors logged five food-establishment calls and five indoor air quality complaints within three blocks. The calls cite exhaust, odors, and indoor air issues from nearby commercial spaces, which can travel through shared shafts and risers.
