Upper East Side walk-up under brand-new LLC ownership after nearly five decades in the same family hands.
A six-unit Upper East Side walk-up with ground-floor commercial space that sold in January 2026 for $3.85M, ending nearly 48 years of family ownership under 1492 Realty Co. Recent agency violation databases currently lack refreshed records for this property, so offline verification is essential. Three things to know:
The building changed hands in January 2026 for $3.85M. 1492 Realty Co. held the property from August 1978 until selling to 1492 1st Avenue Realty LLC in January 2026 for $3.85M. Long-tenured family ownership often means steady operations, but a brand-new corporate handoff can bring shifted management styles or upcoming unit repositioning.
Construction noise dominates the surrounding block activity. 201 noise calls cleared within three blocks over the last year, led by 95 site-work calls for after-hours construction and jackhammering. It is street-level corridor traffic rather than building-specific filings, but exterior sound will carry straight into front-facing units.
Curb congestion and commercial loading move actively along First Avenue. Within three blocks, 217 parking complaints hit municipal logs over the last year, mostly posted sign violations, double-parking, and blocked crosswalks along the avenue. Combined with active retail on the ground floor, street-level curb activity stays high throughout business hours.
