A small East Harlem three-unit building with a thin internal filing history, set against a busy block.
A small three-unit East Harlem property where the building carries few formal operational filings, but the surrounding block shows active street life and local air quality reports. Three things to know:
Block-level reports show active food establishment and air quality complaints. Within three blocks, records show 22 indoor air quality calls and 16 food establishment complaints over the last 12 months. Fumes and food odors typically drift through shared risers or rear commercial exhausts, making floor placement and venting proximity key.
A late-2025 cluster of calls centered on the front entrance. Between November 2025 and January 2026, 17 encampment reports were logged directly at this address, alongside a lobby door complaint from December 2025. All recorded issues are marked closed, but the winter concentration points to recent front-door friction.
Surrounding blocks carry heavy late-night noise calls. 178 residential noise calls and 132 street-level noise calls were logged within three blocks over the last year, largely driven by late-night parties and music. The building itself stays out of the filings, but street activity is frequent on the block.
