A 19th-century Harlem townhouse with a sparse building record on an active block.
A three-family Central Harlem brownstone built in 1886. The house carries zero open housing-code violations, though it sits on a lively stretch of 122nd Street where double-parking and sidewalk activity set the tone. Three things to know:
The house logs few filings directly. The house logged two calls over the last two years — one for un-shoveled snow in December 2025 and one for a double-parked car in August 2025. There are no open housing-code violations on file.
Double-parking dominates the surrounding streetface. Within three blocks of the front door, callers logged 457 illegal parking reports over the last 12 months — 301 of them specifically for double-parking blocking traffic, reflecting short-term loading friction rather than stored cars.
Sidewalk gatherings bring late-night sound to the block. The three blocks surrounding the property logged 231 street and sidewalk noise calls in the past year, dominated by loud music and outdoor gatherings. The street life is active, making unit exposure key to day-to-day noise.
