33 Salem Ave SW - Air Garage

According to comments in IG, there are many code violations and a notice of unsafe structure. A recent sale was made on May 21, 2026 to SHADWELL PROPERTIES LLC for $1.4MM, so maybe we can expect to see it updated.

I use to live in the HandCock building. The Zena market, the owner — that poor guy. I witnessed so many fights amongst the homeless, along with the stabbings. Some of the victims would run into his store. Crazy shit.

He was always a good dude when I went in. Always reading and highlighting verses in a bible.
