266 West 136th Street, Manhattan

A four-unit walk-up where surrounding blocks carry late-night party noise and air quality reports.

This four-family Central Harlem walk-up transferred to 206 West Realty LLC in October 2023, following a 2017 referee sale for $2,100,000. While the four units generate few internal complaints, administrative context and surrounding block activity carry the main record. Three things to know:

The sole open housing issue is an unfiled property registration. The building carries an open administrative violation from November 2022 for failing to file a valid property registration statement. While this does not mean physical code defects exist, official contact information remains unfiled.

Late-night sound and party calls dominate the surrounding three blocks. 243 residential noise calls were logged within three blocks over the last year, driven by loud music and parties (130 calls) and heavy pounding (73 calls). The volume concentrates on nearby blockfaces rather than inside this four-unit structure.

Surrounding blocks show recurring air quality and commercial venting calls. 10 indoor air quality complaints and 7 food establishment calls were logged within three blocks over the last 12 months. Exhaust and commercial kitchen venting from nearby parcels can drift into residential windows or shared air shafts.

Quieter signals on this building and the blocks around it:

• 175 illegal parking calls within three blocks last year, mostly hydrant blocks and double-parked vehicles
• 158 unsanitary condition calls within three blocks over 12 months, mostly pests and garbage storage reports
• 110 plumbing complaints logged across the three-block radius over the last year
