Late-night noise originates from both internal apartments and the street. Nine residential noise calls came from inside the building over the past year, while 247 street-noise calls were logged within three blocks, driven mostly by loud music and late-night talking.
Surrounding commercial food spots create potential odor and exhaust riser bleed.
