An Upper East Side rental mid-rise where curb double-parking and ground-floor air quality draw notice on the surrounding blocks.
Built in 1986, this 64-unit Upper East Side mid-rise has been tied to the Howard Hughes Medical Institute since completion. While housing-code data is unverified for this address, street-level activity on the block carries distinct air and curb signals. Three things to know:
Commercial venting and air quality show up on the surrounding block face. 50 food establishment calls and 8 indoor air quality reports were logged within three blocks over the last year. That density points to restaurant venting or odor migration from ground-floor spaces that tenants only spot after moving in.
Double-parking and loading stops dominate the curb space. 371 illegal-parking complaints were logged within three blocks over the last 12 months, led by 150 double-parking calls and 115 sign violations. Curb space stays jammed with delivery trucks and commercial turnarounds right outside.
Street-level noise stems mostly from commercial and construction equipment. 94 noise calls were filed in the three blocks around the building last year, heavily driven by early-morning construction equipment and jackhammering rather than late-night apartment parties.
