A 19th-century two-family home where street-level friction and commercial exhaust define the surrounding block.
A two-family rowhouse built in 1899 where the building itself has a thin operational record, leaving surrounding block patterns to tell the story. Three things to know:
Commercial food preparation and kitchen exhaust generate block-level complaints nearby. 6 food establishment complaints have been logged within three blocks over the past year, most recently on September 8, 2026. Commercial kitchen venting and food prep odors can drift into upper-floor residential windows or shared outdoor spaces depending on wind and riser proximity.
Street traffic and parking enforcement dominate the surrounding three blocks. 126 illegal parking calls have been logged within three blocks in the last 12 months, mostly driven by 40 posted sign violations and 30 blocked hydrants rather than long-term vehicle storage. Another 54 calls involve traffic signal controller repairs, pointing to active intersection friction close by.
The building's own operational file is thin, shifting focus to physical maintenance. Small two-family properties rarely generate code filings or tenant-driven paperwork, so evaluating the physical structure, roof condition, and heating plant matters far more than checking municipal compliance logs.
