A two-family Soundview home where the building's own record is thin while the surrounding blocks carry heavy curb friction and neighborhood air-quality calls.
A two-family brick home built in 1920 in Soundview with a single long-term individual owner. The building's own operational file is thin, but the surrounding street carries heavy parking friction and neighborhood air-quality signals. Three things to know:
A decade-long individual owner on paper, not a corporate landlord Arthur Richards acquired the home for $470,000 in 2015 following a brief turnover by a private development company. Subsequent filings show standard mortgage assistance documents over the years, pointing to individual ownership rather than an institutional landlord portfolio.
Curb space and street noise dominate the three blocks around the house 274 illegal-parking calls and 145 street-noise complaints were logged within three blocks over the last 12 months. The parking calls are driven by 157 blocked hydrants and 34 double-parked cars blocking traffic—short-errand curb chaos rather than stored abandoned vehicles.
Commercial venting and air quality complaints show up on surrounding blocks 10 food establishment complaints and 5 indoor air quality calls were logged within three blocks over the last year. In a two-family house, ground-floor or street-facing windows absorb neighboring commercial exhaust and street-level odor drift far more directly than higher floors.
