A 75-unit Midtown East building where the surrounding block carries heavy construction noise and food-exhaust bleed.
A 75-unit Midtown East rental from 1929 where the building itself has few city filings, but the surrounding street grid carries persistent construction and food-venting activity. Three things to know:
After-hours construction dominates the three blocks around the building. Neighbors within three blocks logged 193 general noise complaints over the past 12 months, with 123 tied specifically to construction before or after hours and another 31 for equipment and jackhammers. The pattern remains active, with the most recent call logged on September 18, 2026.
Food establishment venting and indoor air quality complaints cluster on the block. The surrounding three blocks recorded 18 food establishment complaints and 6 indoor air quality calls in the past year. Restaurant venting and exhaust drift can travel through shared light wells or lower-floor windows along Midtown East commercial strips.
Late-night party and music complaints are a frequent feature of the nearby blocks. Residents across the three-block radius filed 136 residential noise complaints in the last 12 months, including 96 for loud music or parties and 33 for heavy banging. The volume points to active evening and weekend social noise along the street face.
