A small East Midtown rental where street-level construction and neighborhood dining venting outweigh internal maintenance issues.
A 20-unit East Midtown rental building registered under officer Terrence Lowenberg. Inside, code issues are practically non-existent, but block-level construction and ground-floor venting shape the surrounding experience. Three things to know:
A brief burst of residential noise calls in May 2026 marks the main indoor issue. Three residential noise calls came in over a single week in May 2026, all citing banging or loud TV sounds. Beyond that brief stretch, indoor complaint activity is minimal across the 20 apartments.
Ground-floor food establishments nearby drive localized odor and exhaust calls. 13 food establishment calls were logged within three blocks over the last 12 months. Kitchen odors and exhaust lines are hard to detect on a short afternoon walkthrough but can drift through rear lightwells and windows.
Surrounding construction noise accounts for the dominant neighborhood pattern. 153 noise calls hit the surrounding three blocks over the last year, with 75 driven specifically by after-hours work and construction equipment rather than street-level nightlife.
