A long-held Upper East Side prewar run by the same local operator since 1986.
Nilde Realty Corp bought the properties in December 1986, carrying it through four decades under head officer Gaetano Scarselli. Upstairs, the apartments have a clean ledger—no open code violations, no heating or pest tickets against residences. But the ground level has active food businesses shaping the immediate block feel. Three things to know:
The ground-floor restaurant generates the building's only recent friction. Ten complaints since late 2024 target the outdoor dining setup, focusing on blocked sidewalk zones and barrier conditions. Two more cover the interior food establishment, tracking temperature issues and pets. It's standard avenue-level trade-offs, but worth keeping in mind if you are looking at lower-floor units.
A clean operational ledger for the apartments upstairs. There are zero open building-code or housing quality violations on file. For a century-old property, maintaining a completely resolved violation history and no tenant-filed heating or water complaints is a solid indicator of consistent management.
Active avenues and double-parks right outside. Within a few blocks, illegal parking is the heaviest street-level friction, with 89 calls in the last year—mostly posted-sign violations and double-parking that bogs down traffic. The surrounding blocks also logged 70 residential noise reports, mostly focused on parties and music.
