247 East 50th Street, Manhattan

A two-unit Midtown East property with minimal direct building complaints and corporate management since 2021.

A small two-unit building in Midtown East that transferred to Lancewood Capital for $2.85M in September 2021. The building itself carries a very limited complaint history, though commercial activity on the block shapes the immediate environment. Three things to know:

Commercial activity and food establishments drive local noise and odor signals. Building-level filings include three commercial noise reports and sign enforcement calls in 2025. Across the three blocks surrounding the building, 26 food establishment complaints were logged in the past year, making ground-floor venting and odor bleed a key detail to check in person.

Street-level parking calls concentrate on short-term loading violations. Within three blocks of the building, 189 illegal parking calls were logged over the past year, dominated by posted sign violations and blocked bike lanes rather than long-term stored cars.

Quieter signals on this building and the blocks around it:

• 100 residential noise complaints logged within three blocks over the last year
• 99 construction and equipment noise calls logged within three blocks in 12 months
• 14 encampment calls recorded across the three-block radius over the last year
