Post-war Upper East Side condo sitting in one of the neighborhood's busiest transit hubs.
Built in 1986, this 102-unit high-rise stands steps from the express subway station off Lexington Avenue. While the building's own record shows zero open housing-code violations, the immediate blocks see heavy foot traffic and street activity. Three things to know:
Commercial kitchen exhaust and food venting on the block. With 53 food establishment complaints within three blocks over the last year, mostly targeting the active restaurant strips down the block, venting smells are a real factor. These odors can travel up ventilation shafts or HVAC lines, making lower-floor apartments particularly vulnerable to kitchen exhaust.
After-hours construction dominates the local soundscape. The area has logged 148 noise complaints within three blocks over the last year. Fully half of those—74 calls—were for construction happening before or after legal hours, with another 34 specifically targeting heavy construction equipment.
Street life clusters heavily around the subway entrance. The surrounding area saw 180 homeless assistance requests and 68 encampment calls within three blocks over the last year. Most of this activity concentrates near the transit steps and busy commercial storefronts down the block rather than the condo entrance.
