34-24 28th Street, Queens

Longtime family-held Astoria walk-up where the building's own record is thin while curb and noise friction cluster within three blocks.

A six-unit Astoria walk-up built in 1922 that has remained with the Montemarano family across decades of transfers, shifting into a family LLC in 2012. Three things to know:

Decades of family ownership with no open code violations. The property carries no open housing-code violations or active operational filings. Title has passed through Montemarano family entities since at least the 1990s, keeping administration in-house.

Curb congestion and blocked driveways drive steady neighborhood calls. Within three blocks, neighbors logged 112 illegal-parking calls over the last 12 months—mostly blocked hydrants and sidewalks—alongside 98 blocked-driveway complaints. It reflects tight curb space on surrounding streets rather than commercial loading zones.

Residential noise calls concentrate on surrounding blockfaces. 100 residential noise complaints were logged within three blocks over the past year, split between loud music and internal banging. The building itself is not generating these calls, but nearby properties keep the surrounding blockface active.

Quieter signals on this building and the blocks around it:

• 47 street noise calls within three blocks over the past 12 months
• 48 unsanitary condition calls across the surrounding three blocks over the last year
• 31 rodent calls within three blocks over the past 12 months
