A 2009 three-family building held by one family for over a decade, carrying four open housing violations while sitting on a busy commercial strip.
A three-unit modern residential building constructed in 2009 along Myrtle Avenue. Ownership has remained within the same family since buying from the developer for $554,946 in 2011, though active open housing violations point to unresolved roof and ceiling issues. Three things to know:
Open violations show an unresolved roof leak and missing heating notices. Housing inspectors carry four open violations on the property, including a top-floor roof leak and ceiling plaster damage in apartment 3FL from May 2024, plus an immediately hazardous class C violation from August 2024 for failing to post heating system key access info in the hall.
Surrounding blocks carry recurring indoor air quality and vapor complaints. Five indoor air quality reports have been logged within three blocks over the past year. Air quality calls at this scale typically point to ground-floor commercial venting, kitchen exhausts, or odor bleed migrating through building risers and lightwells.
Blocked driveways and street friction dominate the immediate block face. The surrounding three blocks logged 241 blocked driveway calls over the last 12 months—mostly total access blockages—along with 125 residential noise complaints, making vehicle access and curb turnover a constant factor on the block.
