A seven-unit Upper West Side building with minimal direct complaints, active alteration filings, and notable air quality and curb patterns nearby.
Built in 1893 as a 7-unit Upper West Side building, this property moved from church ownership to a private LLC in 2016 for $6.71M. While direct complaints against the address are sparse, major work was approved in mid-2025 and surrounding block calls show distinct environmental patterns. Three things to know:
Surrounding block filings show repeated indoor air quality and food establishment signals. Within three blocks, 22 indoor air quality calls and 22 food establishment complaints were logged over the last year. Restaurant venting, cooking fumes, and HVAC exhaust often travel through shared risers or light wells in historic brownstone blocks.
Major interior alteration permits were approved in mid-2025. An alteration permit was issued in August 2025 under 81st Street Zef LLC. Direct complaints logged against the building itself remain low, with isolated past calls for after-hours construction noise and sidewalk conditions.
Street-level parking calls concentrate heavily within three blocks. 365 illegal parking complaints were logged within three blocks over the last 12 months, driven by 176 posted sign violations and 125 blocked hydrants. The activity reflects commercial curb turnover rather than long-term vehicle storage.
