871 East 223rd Street, Bronx

A 1970 single-family home where surrounding blocks carry heavy curb friction.

A single-family home built in 1970 that last changed hands in 2022. Because it operates as a private residence, housing code enforcement coverage is incomplete. Underwriting this address means looking at block-level friction rather than shared hall paperwork. Three things to know:

Parking and driveway blockages dominate the surrounding streetscape. 289 illegal-parking complaints were logged within three blocks over the last year, mostly double-parking blocking traffic (158 calls) and blocked hydrants (76 calls). Another 186 calls involved blocked driveways with zero access. Finding curb space or keeping driveway access clear requires daily navigation.

Residential sound complaints flare up nearby on nights and weekends. 69 residential noise calls hit within three blocks in the past 12 months, driven by banging and loud parties. With 14 street-level noise calls alongside them, off-hour block activity can reach the front windows.

The 2022 deed transfers reflect family acquisition and consolidation. Deed filings show a $576,000 transfer in January 2022, followed by a title consolidation among family members later that spring. The pattern reflects long-term family holding rather than an investor flip.

Quieter signals on this building and the blocks around it:

• 66 unsanitary condition reports logged within three blocks over the last 12 months.
• 33 plumbing and 28 paint or plaster calls recorded on surrounding blocks in the past year.
• 6 illegal fireworks complaints filed within three blocks during the last 12 months.
