544 West 142nd Street, Manhattan

Small Hamilton Heights rental where street noise and food establishment air-quality calls cluster on surrounding blockfaces.

A 7-unit Hamilton Heights building constructed in 1910 that changed hands in April 2020 for $1.7M after decades in family trust ownership. Three things to know:

Street party and commercial noise heavy within three blocks. Within three blocks, neighbors logged 1,316 street-noise calls over the past year—913 specifically for party music—alongside 933 commercial noise complaints. The street activity concentrates heavily on nearby blockfaces and remains active year-round.

Commercial food and air quality complaints on surrounding blocks. Over the last 12 months, 20 indoor air quality calls and 17 food establishment complaints were logged within three blocks. Air quality and venting issues often travel through shared risers or open shafts in pre-war structures, making proximity to commercial kitchens a factor.

Acquired in 2020 after fifty years in family trust ownership. The property traded for $1.7M in April 2020, ending over half a century of ownership under a long-standing family trust dating back to 1967.

Quieter signals on this building and the blocks around it:

• 365 illegal parking calls within three blocks over the last year
• 364 unsanitary condition complaints within three blocks in the past 12 months
• 42 rodent complaints logged within three blocks over the last year
