The building carries zero open housing-code violations, but spring 2026 asbestos filings and neighborhood kitchen venting stand out.
This 40-unit Upper East Side pre-war rental carries no open housing-code violations, but spring 2026 asbestos filings show maintenance work inside the building. Outside, kitchen venting and commercial noise shape the immediate block environment. Three things to know:
Asbestos reports surfaced twice in spring 2026. Two asbestos calls were logged from the property in spring 2026, including an open file from May 16, 2026. This pattern typically signals pipe insulation, plaster, or boiler work inside the building that prompted resident concern.
Food establishment exhaust and odor signals cluster within three blocks. 28 food establishment calls were logged within three blocks over the last 12 months. Restaurant exhaust, kitchen venting, or odor bleed can travel up building shafts and lightwells depending on unit position.
Commercial noise and equipment work concentrate on surrounding blocks. 167 commercial noise reports were logged within three blocks over the last year, with 132 specifically citing pounding or banging. Another 113 calls in the same radius logged construction equipment, ventilation noise, and off-hours work.
