The building's internal code record carries zero open violations, but commercial venting and street-level curb friction mark the immediate surrounding blocks.
A 20-unit Upper East Side prewar rental that traded in December 2022 for $16.4M, moving from long-term individual ownership to Kanden Realty & Development. Three things to know:
Restaurant exhausts and air-quality calls cluster on the surrounding blocks. 62 food establishment complaints and 10 indoor air quality reports were logged within three blocks over the last year. Commercial kitchen exhaust and neighborhood venting issues show up regularly on the surrounding blocks, making riser and shaft proximity a key variable inside individual apartments.
Double-parking and blocked hydrants create constant street-level bottlenecks. 204 illegal parking complaints were filed within three blocks over the past 12 months, led by 54 double-parking and 49 blocked-hydrant reports. The calls cluster around short-stop commercial drop-offs and hydrant blockages along East 85th Street rather than long-term stored vehicles.
