Corporate ownership transferred the property in late 2023 for nearly $20 million. The property changed hands in November 2023 for $19,999,000, passing from one LLC to another. High-value single-family townhouse titles under corporate ownership often indicate family office hold, personal owner use, or high-end leasing.
Commercial food exhaust and air quality calls show up on surrounding blocks. The three blocks around the townhouse logged 26 food establishment complaints and 10 indoor air quality calls over the last 12 months. Restaurant venting and commercial exhaust are common Midtown air-quality drivers that can drift into private townhouse courtyards or lower floors.
Off-hours commercial construction and jackhammering dominate neighborhood noise calls. Within three blocks, street-level noise calls hit 164 over the last year. The volume is heavily driven by off-hours commercial construction (106 calls) and jackhammering (16 calls), reflecting Midtown work outside the front door.
