A small 8-unit Murray Hill rental where the building keeps out of municipal filings, but surrounding commercial venting and traffic drive local calls.
This is an eight-unit pre-war building managed by A.J. Clarke Real Estate. The building itself maintains a thin operational profile with only two heat calls in spring 2025, but the surrounding streetscape near Midtown generates steady activity and commercial air-quality signals. Three things to know:
Commercial food venting and air-quality calls pop up on the surrounding blocks. Within three blocks of the building, 12 food establishment complaints and 7 indoor air quality reports were filed over the last year. These neighborhood venting and odor calls often point to commercial kitchens or exhaust ducts carrying smells into residential risers.
Crosstown traffic and horn noise dominate the immediate block faces. Within three blocks of the address, 170 illegal parking calls were logged over the last 12 months, alongside 110 vehicle noise reports. The parking calls are driven by blocked bike lanes (65) and sign violations (46), while vehicle noise consists almost entirely of car and truck horns (104).
Two building-wide heat calls in spring 2025 were cleared out. The address logged two building-wide heat and hot water calls in late March and early April 2025. Both complaints were marked closed, and the building carries no other recent heating or hot water reports.
