Discussion about 205 East 59th Street in Lenox Hill
We are working on a website that tries to address questions like these (Revaluate, currently in beta). This building pulls up a few records about noise, but it seems to be more about construction noise that traffic. Our database includes complaints made to MTA Bridge and Tunnel, and some areas have many, but this one seems to be ok.)
It does appear to have high utility costs though, and a history of elevator and boiler violations. But those are pretty minor things. It is helpful to us to know what would make the product more useful, so if there is anything else in particular that would be helpful to know about the building, please let me know and I am happy to see what I can dig up.
Thanks for the infomation. I'd think, as a comment to your project which seems to pull official complaint data, that much of the city's noise is transient in nature and would not warrant an official complaint. One obvious example is the use of horns, which contrary to their intended purpose of preventing accidents, is more commonly used by drivers to "yell" at each other.
Thanks for the feedback.
Actually, horn noise complaints are included. They are handled by the NYPD. We also look at the former locations of no honking signs (not sure why the City removed them).
Galka, I tried to connect with u on linked in (ian).
