801 East 161st Street, Bronx

A two-unit Bronx home under corporate ownership, sitting in an active neighborhood corridor with recurring air-quality and street-noise calls.

A 1920 two-family residential building in the South Bronx that sold for $720,000 to an LLC. The property's operational file has limited recent city data, but the surrounding blocks show concentrated street activity and neighborhood venting calls. Three things to know:

Corporate transfers and four sales since 2014. The building traded for $10,000 in 2014, $50,000 in 2015, $210,000 in 2016, and $720,000 in 2023 to 801 Capital LLC. That progression reflects repeated corporate transfers over nine years.

Outdoor drinking and sidewalk sound concentrate within three blocks. Within three blocks of the building, public-drinking complaints reached 168 in the last year, all flagged for public spaces. Street-noise calls reached 148 over the same span, predominantly for outdoor music, parties, and sidewalk gathering.

Air quality and food establishment calls surface within three blocks. Within three blocks of the house, residents logged 7 food establishment complaints and 5 indoor air quality calls in the past year. These types of neighborhood venting and air quality calls often indicate fumes or kitchen exhaust bleeding into nearby living spaces.
