A two-unit Murray Hill townhouse where building filings stay minimal while East Side helicopter traffic and neighborhood air quality define the block.
A 1920 two-unit residential townhouse in Murray Hill where the house record itself is thin, while the surrounding block carries heavy East Side corridor activity. The property traded for $4,995,000 in 2018 from a long-held estate to corporate ownership. Three things to know:
Nearby commercial activity drives recurring indoor air quality and food establishment reports. Within three blocks, 18 food establishment complaints and 9 indoor air quality calls were logged over the last year. In small multi-unit buildings, ground-floor or neighboring commercial kitchens can drive odor and exhaust drift into upper residential floors through shared light wells or HVAC pathways.
Helicopter noise from the East River flight path dominates the immediate area. Over the last 12 months, 487 helicopter noise calls were logged within three blocks, driven by East River flight corridors near 34th Street. Air traffic is a constant background factor for properties on this stretch.
Corporate ownership took title in 2018 after decades of family ownership. The building changed hands in 2018 for $4,995,000, moving from a family estate hold to an LLC. The house itself carries almost no operational complaints beyond four minor curb-side waste timing calls across 2025 and 2026.
