Small Harlem walk-up with long-term ownership and minimal direct building filings.
An eight-unit Central Harlem walk-up held by the same family entity since 2001, transitioning to an LLC run by Lars Westvind in 2018. The address itself logs very few direct calls, but activity across the surrounding blocks is high. Three things to know:
Decades of continuous family ownership with few direct calls against the address. Lars and Gulsen Westvind bought the property in October 2001 before transferring title to 133 W 132 LLC in December 2018, with Westvind listed as head officer. Over the last two years, the address itself generated only two residential noise calls—both closed—leaving direct tenant filings light.
Air quality and commercial kitchen complaints surface on the surrounding blocks. Within three blocks, neighboring addresses logged 24 food establishment reports and 17 indoor air quality calls over the last year. Commercial kitchen exhaust and air quality issues typically trace to specific retail lines, so verifying how air moves through the building's shafts is key before signing.
High street and party noise volume across the immediate three-block radius. Within three blocks of the building, surrounding addresses logged 369 residential noise complaints (mostly loud music and party calls) and 345 street-noise reports (predominantly sidewalk music and talking) over the trailing 12 months.
