Heavy sidewalk friction and surrounding air-quality calls dominate the immediate blocks while the townhouse file carries minimal public records.
A two-family Harlem townhouse built in 1910 where filings against the structure itself are thin, but street-level friction and surrounding mechanical calls frame the block. The property moved from individual ownership in 2014 to corporate control in 2020. Three things to know:
Curb and sidewalk complaints concentrate along the surrounding blocks. 603 illegal-parking calls were logged within three blocks over the last year, led by 491 blocked-sidewalk reports rather than stored cars. Another 246 street-noise calls hit the same radius in 12 months, driven mainly by outdoor music and block gatherings.
Air quality filings in the immediate radius warrant a check on ventilation pathways. 19 indoor air quality calls were logged within three blocks over the past year, running alongside broader unsanitary and plumbing filings in surrounding properties. In townhouses, air-quality reports in the vicinity often signal neighborhood commercial venting or shared riser exhaust issues.
Corporate ownership keeps internal building filings minimal. The townhouse changed hands for $1.1M in 2014 before an agreement transfer in 2020 at $2.95M. As a two-unit residential layout, the house stays out of typical multi-family oversight filings.
