Small family-owned Sunnyside walk-up where building-level issues are minimal, but surrounding block activity and commercial air quality complaints require attention.
A six-unit Sunnyside walk-up built in 1931 under long-term family ownership, held in a living trust managed by Irene Eng-Chin since 2018. While the physical structure shows little direct friction, street-level noise, commercial exhaust, and curb activity dominate the immediate surroundings. Three things to know:
Two open administrative notices are logged on the property file. The address carries two open Class A notices, both for failing to file mandatory annual bedbug reports in June 2025 and May 2026. These are non-hazardous administrative filings rather than active infestation notices, but they remain open until submitted.
Surrounding blocks show active commercial kitchen and indoor air quality reports. Within three blocks, neighbors logged 13 food establishment complaints and 6 indoor air quality calls over the last year. Commercial kitchen venting and air exhaust can drift into upper-floor walk-ups depending on riser proximity and street layout.
Curb pressure and block noise reflect a busy commercial radius. Within three blocks, residents logged 215 illegal parking calls in the last 12 months—primarily 134 blocked hydrants—alongside 145 residential noise complaints. The building itself stays out of these calls, but double-parking and street noise are active nearby.
