A small Bushwick walk-up that keeps out of city filings while sitting inside a loud nightlife corridor.
A six-unit Bushwick walk-up held by 50 St Nicholas Owner LLC since a $1.3M purchase in 2014, with Morty Yashar listed as head officer. The building stays out of operational complaints, but the surrounding blocks carry heavy commercial nightlife and street activity. Three things to know:
Commercial noise and party calls dominate the surrounding blocks. 264 commercial noise calls within three blocks over the last 12 months, with 245 flagged specifically for loud music and parties. Another 324 street noise calls logged nearby over the same span, higher than citywide norms. While the building's own record is thin, the surrounding nightlife bleeds directly onto the block.
Nearby food establishments create potential exhaust and air-quality drift. Eight food establishment complaints logged within three blocks over the last year, running through September 2026. In dense mixed-use corridors, restaurant exhaust and kitchen odors frequently drift into upper-floor residential units through risers, light wells, or open windows.
