Small family-owned four-unit where building-level noise calls focus on vehicle music outside, while unit maintenance filings stay mostly administrative.
Small four-unit building in Brownsville that has remained in family hands since 1998, with Denvera Paton listed across ownership filings and deed transfers dating back nearly three decades. Three things to know:
Car and truck music dominates the building's direct complaint history. 38 complaints filed against this address focus on vehicle noise — specifically car and truck music — with the most recent logged August 15, 2026. Residential noise calls inside the four units are much sparser, making street-level audio the primary friction point on the building's file.
Four open administrative citations for unfiled annual bedbug reports. The building carries four open administrative items for failing to file annual bedbug reports, recorded each spring from 2023 through 2026. They carry no physical condition violations, but reflect ongoing missed annual report submissions.
Surrounding blocks show consistent residential noise and maintenance calls. Within three blocks, residents logged 250 residential noise complaints over the last year, largely loud music and party calls, alongside 118 unsanitary condition reports covering pests and mold. While these reflect nearby properties rather than this specific four-unit, they capture the block's overall activity.
