Heavy residential noise across surrounding blocks, indoor air quality reports, and recent bank title turnover define this three-unit house.
A three-unit house built in 1901 where the building's own operational file is thin, but heavy surrounding block noise, indoor air quality calls, and recent lender title changes define the property. Three things to know:
Indoor party and pounding noise dominates the surrounding three blocks. 605 residential noise calls occurred within three blocks over the last 12 months, compared to a citywide median of 435,624 calls per category. The complaints center heavily on pounding (274 calls) and loud music or parties (259 calls), pointing to significant indoor bass and sound bleed from adjacent properties.
Air quality calls show up on the surrounding blocks. 7 indoor air quality complaints were logged within three blocks over the last year. Fumes, chemical vapors, or exhaust bleed through shared shafts or commercial venting can affect living spaces, making vertical positioning key.
Ownership shifted rapidly from private hands to bank title. Longtime owners sold the house for $955,000 in February 2024 to an LLC, which surrendered title to Habib American Bank by May 2025. The rapid sequence reflects lender takeover and financial turnover rather than standard long-term management.
