A small 10-unit Upper West Side walk-up where the building keeps out of official trouble, but the surrounding block activity carries real volume.
This pre-war brownstone walk-up holds just 10 apartments on a residential Upper West Side block. The building itself stays clean of active code violations, but surrounding street activity and overhead air traffic carry the main lived experience. Three things to know:
Helicopter noise registered repeatedly from this address in autumn 2024. Eight helicopter noise calls came in from this specific address during October 2024 alone. Flight paths over the Upper West Side cut across this strip, so expect overhead rotor noise during peak travel windows.
The surrounding three blocks carry a heavy volume of late-night noise calls. Within three blocks, neighbors logged 184 residential noise calls in the last 12 months — driven heavily by loud talking (83 calls) and parties (60 calls). That is a high concentration of late-night noise for a residential side street.
Venting and air quality calls pop up across the surrounding three blocks. Neighbors within three blocks filed 34 indoor air quality complaints and 32 food establishment calls in the last 12 months. Restaurant venting and kitchen odors drift through nearby interiors, which matters if your unit sits directly over commercial space.
