Recurring winter heat drops and street-level noise define living at 941 St. Nicholas Avenue.
This 23-unit pre-war building sits along a busy St. Nicholas Avenue strip in Washington Heights. While heat reliability dominates the building's internal complaint log, street noise and air-quality patterns on the block affect the living experience. Three things to know:
