A 1910 prewar co-op on the far Upper East Side near the East River.
This 20-unit building on 72nd Street dates back to 1910. Jeff Hufnagel serves as the head officer for the co-op board. Because of its small scale, day-to-day operations tend to be handled internally without leaving a heavy administrative trail. Three things to know:
Ventilation and odor issues show up on the surrounding blocks. Two indoor air quality complaints and three food establishment reports were logged within three blocks over the last year. For prewar buyers, these signals can indicate HVAC leaks, riser bleed, or commercial kitchen venting that drifts into apartments.
Street-level noise peaks during the warmer months. Six street-noise complaints have been filed directly from the building over the past two years, with the most recent on July 5, 2026. The reports concentrate heavily around summer parties and loud music, showing some seasonal block activity.
Double-parking and traffic blockages cluster on the surrounding blocks. There were 40 illegal parking reports within three blocks last year, heavily driven by vehicles double-parking and blocking traffic. It's a busy local curb line rather than long-term stored cars.
