291 William Avenue, Bronx

A long-held City Island single-family home where the surrounding block carries the real record.

A 1920 single-family house on City Island where direct building filings are essentially absent. As a standalone home, it skips the housing-code churn of multi-family buildings. Two things to know:

Two decades under the same private ownership. The last deed transfer on file was in November 2002. Holding a single home for over two decades usually means maintenance is private and unmonitored by agency records, making independent inspection essential.

Curb space and hydrants take the local noise. Within three blocks, illegal parking generated 25 calls over the last year—mostly blocked hydrants and overnight commercial parking rather than stored private cars. On a coastal island strip, curb conflicts happen on the street, not the property line.

Quieter signals on this building and the blocks around it:

• 13 damaged-tree calls within three blocks over the last year, mostly fallen or cracked limbs.
• 13 abandoned-vehicle reports filed within three blocks in the same 12-month span.
• 11 blocked-driveway complaints recorded across the surrounding three blocks over the past year.
