A small Central Harlem walk-up where the building stays out of operational code trouble, but surrounding commercial sound and air signals shape the block experience.
An 11-unit pre-war walk-up built in 1910. The building carries zero open housing-code violations, but the surrounding street activity carries the read on local noise and air quality. Three things to know:
Commercial music and street sound dominate the surrounding three blocks. Within three blocks, 206 commercial noise calls were logged over the last year—all recorded specifically for loud music or parties—alongside 185 residential noise reports. The building itself shows only three residential noise complaints over the past two years, all for banging and pounding, but block-level music carries well into the night.
Venting and air-quality calls cluster on the surrounding blocks. The three blocks surrounding the building logged 26 food establishment complaints and 17 indoor air quality reports over the trailing 12 months. Restaurant exhaust and commercial airflow issues in dense pre-war blocks can bleed upward through risers or shaftways depending on layout.
