Living on the street adjacent to the iconic Empire State Building is an experience that combines the vibrancy of midtown Manhattan with the relative peace and safety of a well-maintained, high-grade street. The area is bustling with activity, yet residents enjoy a surprisingly low crime rate, with no felonies, misdemeanors, or violations reported in the past year, as per official city data.
One of the most notable aspects of living here is the noise levels, which, while not excessively high, can be bothersome at times. Residents have reported incidents of loud music or parties, likely spilling over from nearby bars or restaurants. The noise typically comes from the street or sidewalk level, with complaints usually peaking during late-night hours. Despite these occurrences, the overall noise level is relatively low compared to other nearby streets, such as West 32nd Street, which has a significantly lower grade due to higher noise and other quality-of-life issues.
Another common issue is lost or forgotten property, with several reports of misplaced items ranging from books and stationery to sports equipment. This could be attributed to the high foot traffic in the area, with many visitors and residents alike dropping or leaving behind personal belongings. Additionally, there have been a few complaints about taxi and for-hire vehicle issues, such as drivers blocking hydrants or committing other minor violations. However, these incidents are relatively infrequent and do not appear to be a significant or persistent problem.
Limited data — only 9 complaints in 12 months. Not enough for a reliable trend chart.
