400 Soundview Avenue, Bronx

A Soundview two-family home where ownership shifts, residential noise, and nearby food establishment calls define the record.

A 1931 two-family residential house in Soundview that shifted out of long-term family ownership into a corporate entity in late 2018. Because it is a small multi-family structure, house-level filings are minimal, putting the focus on ownership history, food-prep signals, and surrounding block noise. Three things to know:

A long-term family holding shifted to corporate hands in 2018. Deed filings show the Vargas family held title from 1981 through late 2018 before transferring the property for $866,000 to a corporate entity. That transition ended nearly four decades of direct family ownership.

Food prep and air quality complaints show up in house and block records. The house file carries a March 2026 complaint regarding kitchen and food prep areas, alongside two food establishment calls logged within three blocks over the last year. These signals point to potential cooking odor or riser air quality friction.

Loud music and party calls top the surrounding block activity. Within three blocks, residential noise led all street-level categories with 95 calls in the last year, 65 of which specifically cited loud music and parties. Parking friction follows close behind, with 71 illegal parking calls.

Quieter signals on this building and the blocks around it:

• 51 blocked driveway complaints were logged within three blocks over the trailing 12 months.
• 25 consumer complaints were recorded within three blocks over the trailing 12 months.
• 21 street and sidewalk noise complaints were logged within three blocks over the trailing 12 months.
