261 West 94th Street, Manhattan

1920s Upper West Side co-op with an active resident board, one unresolved winter heat order, and air-quality calls in the immediate area.

Built in 1921, this 61-unit Upper West Side building sits off West 94th Street near Broadway. Corporate transfer records show officer Daniel Pender actively transacting units alongside long-time residents, reflecting a tight-knit internal board structure. Three things to know:

An open hazardous heat violation from last autumn remains uncorrected on file. The building carries one open class-C heat order issued in November 2025 for a second-floor apartment. That citation matches three heat and hot water complaints logged during the same autumn turn-on period, which have since been closed. While seasonal heating adjustments are common in 1920s construction, an open hazardous violation requires confirmation of sign-off.

Commercial venting and air-quality complaints show up across the immediate block face. Air quality and food venue calls show a distinct footprint around the block, with 22 indoor air quality reports and 22 food establishment complaints logged within three blocks over the last year. Restaurant exhaust and chemical odor drift tend to travel through old shafts and exterior courts, making unit position critical.

Helicopter routes and hydrants dominate the ambient noise and street profile. Low-altitude flight routes generate heavy neighborhood noise, with 469 helicopter calls logged within three blocks in the last 12 months. Street curb space stays busy as well, carrying 297 parking calls driven mostly by posted sign enforcement and 99 blocked hydrants.

Quieter signals on this building and the blocks around it:

• Recent unit sales cleared at $572,500 and $850,000
• Two estate or trust transfers logged over the last three years
