Classic Upper West Side brownstone block where air quality calls and nearby street activity outpace internal unit complaints.
A 15-unit Upper West Side walk-up built in 1887, sitting half a block from Central Park. The building carries a limited internal complaint footprint, though surrounding block activity and environmental calls draw attention. Three things to know:
Commercial kitchen exhaust and indoor air quality calls ripple through the surrounding blocks. Within three blocks, nearby addresses logged 12 food establishment complaints and 8 indoor air quality calls over the last year. In 19th-century walk-ups, air quality issues often stem from ground-floor commercial kitchens or shared riser stacks bleeding cooking odors upward.
A mid-2025 leak event brought simultaneous mold and floor repair calls. Two unsanitary condition reports for mold and a damaged floor complaint were logged on the same day in July 2025. All were marked resolved, pointing to a localized maintenance event rather than an ongoing building-wide failure.
Late-summer rodent calls match the park-adjacent location. Two rat sightings were logged in September 2025. Given the building's proximity to Central Park, ongoing pest management requires constant effort around building entryways and refuse storage.
