1493 Longfellow Avenue, Bronx

A 1990s two-family townhouse where street-level activity shapes the immediate surroundings.

Built in 1996, this two-family brick townhouse sits on a residential stretch of Longfellow Avenue. Because it is a small two-unit building, day-to-day operations stay private and outside standard multi-family filing tracks. Three things to know:

Air quality calls in the surrounding three blocks suggest localized odor or venting issues. Within three blocks, four indoor air quality complaints were logged over the last year, most recently on April 7, 2026. Odors, vapors, and air complaints at close range often point to ground-floor commercial venting or shared riser shafts.

Street noise and curb enforcement dominate the surrounding blocks. Over the last year, 201 residential noise calls and 147 street noise calls came in within three blocks, driven mostly by loud music and parties. Another 150 illegal parking calls were logged in that same radius, clustered around posted sign violations and hydrants.

Ownership traces back through a family deed transfer and mortgage filings. Deed filings trace a transfer to a family owner in 2020, followed by standard mortgage and lender assignments. In a two-unit setup, maintenance and tenant relations are managed directly by the owner rather than a third-party management company.

Quieter signals on this building and the blocks around it:

• Within three blocks, 105 blocked driveway complaints were logged over the trailing 12 months.
• 12 rodent complaints were registered in the three blocks around the building in the last year.
