A West Village townhouse with a minimal housing record, set against heavy commercial and residential noise on the surrounding block.
A single-family West Village townhouse built in 1899 that traded for $6.85M in September 2025. While the house has no open code violations, street-level activity and nearby commercial footprints dominate the block. Three things to know:
Late-night party and music calls dominate the immediate three-block radius. 325 residential noise calls were logged within three blocks over the last year, driven by 222 reports of loud music and parties and 68 for pounding. The house stays out of municipal filings, but late-night sound spills directly onto West 4th Street.
Restaurant venting and commercial odors spill onto the surrounding block. 18 food establishment complaints were logged within three blocks over the last year, alongside 132 commercial noise calls. Kitchen venting odors and venue noise drift along this commercial stretch, making HVAC intake positioning key for living spaces.
Sign enforcement and blocked sidewalks generate constant curb turnover. 158 illegal parking calls were filed within three blocks in the last year, led by 50 posted sign violations and 33 blocked sidewalk reports — classic West Village curb competition rather than stored vehicles.
