Institutional footprint right by the medical center — thin building filings, but the surrounding streets take heavy curb and sidewalk traffic.
127-unit pre-war building steps from New York-Presbyterian Hospital, institutional ownership tie with Columbia University. Three things to know:
Building-scoped complaints are thin, with boiler calls as the primary signal. Only seven filings directly against the address over the past two years, including two boiler complaints in October 2024 and March 2026. Both were addressed and closed, showing active maintenance response rather than an ignored backlog.
Heavy parking and street activity on the surrounding blocks. 366 illegal parking calls within three blocks over the last year — heavily weighted toward posted sign violations, blocked hydrants, and crosswalks. Combined with 111 street-noise complaints, the immediate area sees steady hospital-adjacent traffic and curb friction.
University and hospital connection shapes property management. Property records link ownership ties to Columbia University and New York-Presbyterian Hospital. Large institutional owners typically maintain central maintenance systems, which keeps individual tenant dispute filings off city tracking.
