Boutique prewar co-op on East 86th Street with a thin building record but an active street footprint.
Built in 1910, this boutique 42-unit building sits just off Park Avenue in a highly active stretch of the Upper East Side. While the building's own maintenance history carries no open housing-code violations, its immediate surroundings reflect a dense commercial footprint. Three things to know:
Restaurant venting and indoor air quality issues show up on the local block. Within three blocks of the building, there were 11 food establishment complaints and 4 indoor air quality calls filed over the last year. This combination suggests that kitchen venting or commercial exhaust can drift into residential lines. The most recent air quality issue was reported on March 25, 2026, and the restaurant complaints ran through July 9, 2026.
Street-level food vendors are concentrated heavily on the surrounding blocks. Within three blocks of the entrance, 249 food vendor enforcement complaints were logged in the last 12 months, with the most recent filed on August 3, 2026. This density is fueled by the busy subway transit hub and major retail corners nearby, making the immediate sidewalk a highly active zone.
Zero public unit transfers have gone through here in the last three years. For a 42-unit co-op, a three-year stretch without a single recorded sale is a long gap. This means the board hasn't had fresh transaction data to set internal pricing comps or recent flip-tax contributions to help fund capital reserves. Prewar infrastructure requires consistent planning when transfer activity is low.
