1853 Watson Avenue, Bronx

A two-family Soundview home recently flipped, sitting near driveway friction and recurring air-quality reports.

A two-family Soundview home built in 1925 that recently went through a rapid corporate transfer. Physical code filings for this specific address are unverified due to limited data, so the read leans on deed transfers and street-level patterns within three blocks. Three things to know:

Ownership flipped the house for more than double its price in 14 months. An LLC bought the house for $595,000 in August 2023 and resold it for $1,220,000 in October 2024. That $625,000 markup in just over a year points to a heavy overhaul rather than a minor refresh.

Indoor air quality reports recur within three blocks. Within three blocks, neighbors logged 7 indoor air quality reports in the past year. Odor and vapor complaints in residential pockets typically stem from low-level exhaust or nearby commercial venting and are worth checking during an in-person visit.

Driveway access and curb space dominate street-level complaints. Within three blocks, residents filed 102 illegal-parking calls and 84 blocked-driveway reports over the trailing 12 months. The parking calls focus heavily on blocked hydrants (49 calls), while driveway reports cite complete access blockages (68 calls).

Quieter signals on this building and the blocks around it:

• Within three blocks, 60 residential noise calls were logged in the past year, mostly for loud music and parties.
• Surrounding blocks logged 16 dirty condition reports and 13 derelict vehicle calls over the trailing 12 months.
