Small Long Island City walk-up with no open housing violations, sitting on a block with intense sidewalk obstruction and active food establishment venting nearby.
An eight-unit Long Island City walk-up held under Vic-Allan Associates, with Witold Szewczyk listed as head officer. While the building's own operational record carries no open violations, the immediate street context carries heavy staging and food venting activity. Three things to know:
Heavy sidewalk obstruction dominates the surrounding three blocks. 8,212 illegal parking calls were logged within three blocks over the past year, with 7,425 specifically citing blocked sidewalks. This overwhelming concentration stems from commercial vehicles using the sidewalks and hydrants for loading and staging.
Ground-floor food venting and commercial air quality activity nearby. 12 food establishment complaints were logged within three blocks over the past year, most recently on September 5, 2026. Odors and venting exhaust can travel up airshafts or through windows depending on unit positioning relative to ground-floor retail.
Street-level noise and music carry along the blockface. 51 street noise calls and 50 residential noise complaints were logged within three blocks over the past 12 months, mostly for loud music and late parties. Sound travels up from the sidewalk level along this stretch.
