The building's own record is virtually blank, but street-level commercial traffic dominates the immediate surrounding block.
This pre-war building carries zero open violations and almost no direct complaints, but the surrounding blockface stays active. Two things to know:
Food vendor activity dominates the immediate surrounding streets. 154 vendor calls were logged in the three blocks around the building over the last year, with 150 specifically targeting food vendors. Combine that with retail traffic off Madison Avenue, and the blockface gets heavy foot congestion.
Short-term delivery and errand parking keeps the curb busy. 136 illegal parking complaints were filed within three blocks in the past 12 months. The bulk of them center on blocked hydrants (38) and posted sign violations (29) rather than overnight vehicle storage — typical for rapid turnover delivery and errand traffic on Upper East Side side streets.
