502 East 87th Street, Manhattan

A single-family Yorkville townhouse where commercial food activity and curb friction define the surrounding blocks.

A single-family Yorkville townhouse built in 1899 where house-level filings are naturally sparse. While code violation data is unverified, direct calls show an open plumbing issue from January 2026 alongside a closed noise report from June 2026. Surrounding block activity carries the main day-to-day texture. Three things to know:

Building-scoped complaints remain minimal. Single-family homes rarely accumulate shared-hall complaints. The house itself carries just two direct complaints: a closed music report from June 2026 and an open sink plumbing complaint logged in January 2026. Private mechanical condition matters far more than filing counts here.

Nearby food establishments generate localized activity. 309 food establishment calls hit the surrounding three blocks over 12 months, running through September 18, 2026. While 304 of these involve pet-permit issues, five specifically cite garbage and insect vectors. In a townhouse setting, proximity to commercial kitchen venting directly shapes air quality.

Hydrant access and double-parking dominate the nearby streetscape. Curb space within three blocks sees steady friction, with 129 illegal parking complaints over 12 months. The calls focus on short-term curb blocking, led by 64 blocked hydrant reports and 14 double-parked cars blocking traffic — quick errand stops rather than abandoned vehicles.

Quieter signals on this building and the blocks around it:

• 86 unsanitary condition calls were logged within three blocks over 12 months.
• 34 rodent reports were recorded across the surrounding three-block radius over the last year.
