317 West 104th Street, Manhattan

Small Upper West Side rental with decades of continuous ownership, though indoor air quality and curb congestion mark the surrounding block.

An eight-unit Upper West Side walk-up tied to individual ownership under Axel Pollak since 1992, later transferred into 317 West 104 LLC in 2010. Three things to know:

Air quality and food exhaust calls surface in the immediate neighborhood. Within three blocks, records show 7 indoor air quality complaints and 5 food establishment calls over the last 12 months. Exhaust, odor, and vapor issues typically travel through building risers or open lightwells, making floor position and venting layout critical before signing.

Curb space and hydrant blocks stay active on surrounding streets. 151 illegal parking complaints logged within three blocks over the last year, primarily driven by 45 blocked hydrants and 33 posted sign violations. The pattern reflects high curb turnover near Broadway and Riverside Drive.

Decades of single-owner continuity on the title. Axel Pollak acquired the building in 1992 and moved title to 317 West 104 LLC in 2010. Multi-decade private holding typically indicates steady operational continuity rather than short-term management flips.

Quieter signals on this building and the blocks around it:

• 88 residential noise calls within three blocks last year, mostly loud music and parties (59 calls)
• 88 homeless assistance calls logged in the three-block radius over the trailing 12 months
• 17 helicopter noise calls and 16 rodent complaints recorded within three blocks last year
