Building-wide heating outages and water leaks flare up periodically, paired with air quality signals in the surrounding area.
This six-unit pre-war building in Bushwick carries no open code violations, but recent calls show recurring heat disruptions, moisture damage, and air quality issues on the surrounding block. Three things to know:
Heating outages hit the entire building in repeated bursts during winter months. 19 heat and hot water complaints have been logged from this address, including multiple building-wide reports in March 2026. While filings show as closed, the repeated winter clusters point to an erratic heating system.
Water leaks and mold reports recur alongside occasional power drops. Tenants logged 10 unsanitary condition calls and 7 water leak complaints, with reports of heavy water flow and mold filed as recently as February 2026. A simultaneous power outage report in March 2026 suggests plumbing issues may periodically leak into electrical infrastructure.
Indoor air quality complaints on the surrounding blocks point to potential odor or fume bleed. Within three blocks of the building, 5 indoor air quality calls were logged over the past year, reflecting potential chemical vapors, fumes, or venting issues on the block. Ground-floor odors and riser bleed can drift directly into upper units depending on apartment orientation.
