Pre-war Upper West Side rental with some unresolved maintenance friction on the top floor.
A small 10-unit pre-war building near Central Park, last sold for $12M back in 2016. While the overall record is thin, there are stubborn immediately hazardous issues on the fifth floor that have lingered. Three things to know:
Three immediately hazardous violations remain open in fifth-floor units. A roach infestation was cited in Apt 5A in June 2026. Next door in Apt 5B, defective plaster and a broken window glass pane have remained open since September 2024. In a building with only ten apartments, leaving top-tier issues unresolved for years suggests a slow response to maintenance.
Fume and dust complaints have been flagged nearby. There have been seven air quality complaints within three blocks over the last year, with the most recent filed on August 1, 2026. In pre-war setups, external dust and ventilation odors can easily migrate between apartments through old riser shafts.
Curb space is highly contested on these blocks. There were 176 illegal-parking complaints within three blocks over the last year, mostly driven by 74 posted parking sign violations and 52 blocked hydrants. With Central Park at the corner, finding or holding curb space here is a daily battle.
