A modern Third Avenue condo with a lingering sponsor presence.
Built in 2017, this 38-unit development sits in a high-density pocket of the Upper East Side. While the building's own housing-code violations file is thin, the developer is still actively unloading sponsor units, and the surrounding blockfronts are highly active. Three things to know:
The developer is still wrapping up sales years after completing the building. Across this condo declaration, there were 18 sales in the last year, with 7 of those being sold directly by the sponsor. A lingering sponsor tail nine years after construction means they may still carry significant voting weight on board decisions, common charges, and the size of the capital reserve fund.
Local air quality and food smells are a frequent nearby complaint. On the surrounding blocks, neighbors logged 11 food establishment complaints and 4 indoor air quality reports over the last year. In dense commercial corridors, ground-floor restaurant vents and HVAC systems can migrate directly into resident air shafts, venting kitchen fumes up the back of the building.
Recent building-level complaints focus on the sidewalk shed outside. Three separate construction complaints were filed against the building address over the last year, all flagging inadequate or defective scaffolding outside. This can suggest ongoing exterior maintenance or Local Law facade inspections that require keeping the overhead protection in place.
