You might check then multidirectional 4228
More compact, better UHF gain and still gets High VHF - channels 7-13.
I actually get a Low VHF station on channel 6 but the station is not very far.
It is also easy on the eyes, which might be important in the city.
You might be OK with 4220 since you are very close to the transmitter.
I can HIGHLY suggest this antenna for your usage.
It has excellent performance, builds in the LTE filter, and gives good VHF coverage as well.
I have 2 of them pointed at NY and Hartford, and it works wonderfully, despite being ~3x the distance you are from the ESB/WTC.
That one DINOVA BOSS MIX antenna (Repack Ready) Building fronts, balconies and single-family homes
should also work for Low-VHF Channel 3 at 63MHz https://docs.televes.com/IFR06230004_0_665898.svg
This is the one I got with the installation service I recommended above. Agree, it works very well and I have no real complaints! However, there is no low VHF (only high, but works perfect even at 7) and still needed the separate 5G filter (LTE filter was not enough). Also, it appears that Televes has discontinued that model (144282) and replaced it with 144286.
Yeah, I can see they claim you can get low VHF with it, but I don't see how that would be physically possible given its shape and size. Still, this is far outside my area of expertise, so... 
I have 2 antenna arriving from Amazon along with a lte filter I was able to tune NBC and FOX with a looped coax cable out the window so hope I'll be ok with a real antenna Just need to drag my giant extension ladder out tomorow
You're probably thinking about a 1/4 wave antenna element, which would have to be almost 4 feet long at 63 MHz. I'm no RF engineer, I would just try out the antenna. I do know that low VHF channel will be hard to get reliably due to many common interfering signal sources.
So far I mounted this one 1st antenna fairly high up the side of my house BUT not above main roof line....I can go higher with alot more effort etc so far i get 2-1 4-1 5-1 9-1 plus all extra channels on each band and a ton of others 52 in total if i add and antenna amp i can tune in 7-1 ..... or i can swap it for this one 2nd option Or maybe quit while im ahead????????
HD Homerun Connect Duo on order only 2 channels BUT i should be fine with it since i only need 4-1 5-1 for now Trying to keep the total cost under $100 which ive done so far
I'm not exactly a big fan of those no name antennas. Usually they're Chinese made pieces of crap. Something like this would probably do

Get an antenna from a reputable company like Winegard, antennas direct, Antop, Televes and Channel Master
The antenna you have is on the cheap side but hey it works. Its so cheap that if it breaks or you decide you need that other channel then just replace it with a better one.
i'm not going overboard on an antenna for just 2 channels etc This is working for now for cheap waiting on HD Homerun as final test
Got an older HDHR5 Connect Duo I can tune the 2 required channels "ok" 5-1 (Fox) shows signal quality is around 58% same for 4-1 (NBC) signal strength shows 77% and up Symbol is at 100% for all. After more research most websites recommend a small directional antenna with a Pre-Amp I found an RCA pre amp for $25 and it includes an FM filter as well as LTE 5G filters so I will get the ladder out later after Amazon shows up and see if that helps etc may swap antenna to the GE model I picked up for $35 while ladder is up etc.
Advice still applies:
I'm planning on installing an antenna this week too.
I have the antenna, LTE/5G filter, HDHR, and Antenna Man's signal meter. Now need to make the time for it and find the right location in the attic.
whats with all the firmwares on that site????
Check out the iOS/iPadOS app "Signal GH" - this provides real-time measurements like the SiliconDust items. I use this to look at signal levels from those devices.
Android Only No Ipads or Iphones
Project is complete Installed the GE antenna with the RCA Amplifier/ LTE 5G filter and the HD Homerun Connect Duo ....All channels tune very well now. So I'm done for now......I hope
Its not bad. Hopefully for you, it'll last but I'm glad you got a good setup in order to stop relying too much on TVE to get locals...
RCA pre-amp is a sleeper - good and cheap. Ran one myself for years. Good luck!
