Prewar Upper East Side co-op with a thin city file but a lively street-level footprint.
This 1928 brick building contains 82 apartments just off Lexington Avenue. While the co-op itself maintains zero open violations, the surrounding blocks are highly active with construction and street traffic. Three things to know:
Local development projects are driving a high volume of street-level noise nearby. The block is navigating some heavy street-side friction. While the building itself is clear, the immediate area has logged 81 noise complaints over the last year, with over half targeting after-hours construction and equipment. The most recent report came in late June 2026, meaning this is an active local issue.
A rare building-level complaint flags a past tap water issue. Building-scoped filings are rare here, but a resident did flag a water quality complaint in January 2026, citing a stale taste and odor. It was resolved and closed, but in a prewar structure of this vintage, it is always worth verifying the state of the plumbing.
Steady resale activity is anchored by a $2.35M transaction in early 2026. The cooperative sees regular turnover, with seven sales logged over the last year. That includes a $2.35M transfer in March 2026, alongside several estate and trust turnstiles. This constant motion means the board has plenty of recent internal comps to weigh when reviewing your package.
