1512 Lurting Avenue, Bronx

A century-old two-family Bronx home that went through a rapid series of deed transfers, sitting on a stretch where driveway clearance is a daily battle.

A two-family home in the Morris Park section of the Bronx that dates back to 1900. While the building's own operational file carries no open housing violations, the surrounding streets carry a very busy signature of parking friction and rapid deed transfers. Three things to know:

Getting in and out of a driveway around here is a daily hassle. Within three blocks of the building, there were 111 blocked-driveway complaints over the last 12 months, with the vast majority reporting complete loss of street access. Combined with 210 illegal-parking complaints in the same radius—mostly blocked hydrants and cars parked on sidewalks—curb space is highly contested.

The home went through three quick ownership changes in 14 months. In August 2018, the property sold for $300,000 to an LLC, ending decades of single-family ownership. By April 2019, that LLC transferred the deed to another corporate entity, which then sold it in October 2019 to the current owner for $785,000. That's a massive price jump in a very short window.

A pair of property-line complaints hit on the exact same day in 2025. On March 24, 2025, the building logged two complaints: one for a broken sidewalk and one for an illegal curb cut or driveway layout. Both cases are closed now, but they point to localized tension around how the front yard and parking access were modified.

Quieter signals on this building and the blocks around it:

• Residential noise is active, with 71 complaints within three blocks last year, mostly driven by 49 loud music and party calls.
• There are 30 illegal dumping complaints within three blocks, pointing to localized issues with street cleanliness.
• The current owner backed the October 2019 purchase with a $718,863 mortgage.
• A century-old two-family house with a clean housing-code file but a highly active transaction history. The real day-to-day friction here isn't inside the walls; it's on the street, where blocked driveways and tight curb parking are constant. It's a solid option if the 2019 renovations hold up, provided you're ready to defend your driveway space.
