A quiet 1948 Woodlawn single-family home with some very specific driveway friction at the curb.
Built in 1948, this Bronx townhouse keeps a low operational profile on paper, with zero open maintenance violations. But while the house itself is quiet, the street-side history reveals a running battle over unpermitted curb cuts and parking space. Three things to know:
Someone is fighting over driveway and sidewalk access. There are three complaints since 2025 regarding an illegal curb cut or driveway, including an open complaint from May 5, 2026. This lines up with a streak of six complaints for blocked sidewalks and improper parking directly at this address.
Street parking here is highly contested. The three-block corridor logged 582 illegal parking complaints over the last year, heavily dominated by 201 blocked hydrants and 146 blocked crosswalks. Another 62 blocked driveway complaints show how difficult it is to park without running into neighborhood friction.
Decades of silence on the deed files. Only two historical deed entries exist for this address. The most recent is a July 11, 1984 transfer showing the City of New York taking title. There are no modern private sales or transfers registered in the digitized record since.
