Significant open code violations and active heat and leak complaints point to deferred maintenance across the property.
This 37-unit pre-war building carries 17 open code violations, including 8 immediately hazardous Class C citations for lead hazards, mold, roaches, and missing window guards. While ownership has remained under the same entity since 2002, active code enforcement reveals persistent maintenance gaps. Three things to know:
Eight Class C citations remain open, heavy on lead control and unaddressed hazards. The city opened multiple Class C violations against the building for failing to investigate or produce lead-based paint hazard records upon demand. The file also includes open citations for mold exceeding 30 square feet in apartment B6, active roach issues in C2, and missing window guards.
Repeated heat outages coincided with locked access to the boiler room. Twelve building-wide and apartment-level heat and hot water complaints were filed during the 2025–2026 heating season. In November 2025, inspectors cited the owner for locking the cellar door and denying access to the heating system during an inspection.
Active water leaks lead straight to open mold citations. Four water leak complaints were logged between May and June 2026, featuring heavy flow and slow leak calls. Combined with an open Class C mold violation covering over 30 square feet of bathroom walls, moisture management is an ongoing issue.
