Administrative reporting delays account for all open housing-code filings on this four-unit building, while party calls concentrate on the surrounding blocks.
This 1930 Brownsville four-unit building carries four open violations, all tied to annual bedbug reporting filings rather than physical habitability. Meanwhile, the surrounding three blocks carry noticeable outdoor music activity and indoor air quality calls. Three things to know:
Open housing-code violations stem entirely from annual bedbug paperwork. Four Class A administrative violations sit open, issued annually from March 2023 through May 2026. Every single notice cites the exact same issue: failure to file the mandatory annual bedbug report. Zero Class B or Class C physical conditions are open.
Indoor air quality calls within three blocks hint at localized duct or riser bleed. Three indoor air quality calls were logged within three blocks over the trailing 12 months. Fume and air quality calls often point to localized venting or riser bleed from neighboring commercial setups or shared ducts.
Street noise within three blocks concentrates around outdoor music and parties. 252 street noise calls were logged within three blocks over the last year, with 244 driven specifically by loud music and party complaints. The building's own address logged just one street noise call in May 2025.
