A 19th-century Harlem townhouse under bank-trust title, surrounded by active double-parking congestion and indoor air calls.
An 1888 single-family townhouse in Harlem that went through a referee foreclosure transfer in early 2026. The house itself has sparse operational filings, but surrounding blocks show steady curb friction and air-quality calls. Three things to know:
Title transferred through a referee foreclosure deed in early 2026. Title moved to US Bank Trust National Association in February 2026 for $1,000 following years of mortgage assignment transfers. This reflects an institutionally held foreclosure outcome rather than an arm's-length residential purchase.
Air quality and vapor calls recur on surrounding blocks. 13 indoor air quality complaints were recorded within three blocks, with the most recent logged on August 18, 2026. Vapor and air-drift issues typically point to local exhaust or riser bleed in nearby structures, making layout orientation key.
Curb double-parking and sidewalk noise dominate the surrounding streets. 531 illegal parking complaints were logged within three blocks over the last year—led by 312 double-parking calls—alongside 204 street-noise reports primarily tagged for loud music. Double-parking and evening sound drive regular curb friction nearby.
