Historic seven-unit walk-up with individual ownership and no open housing violations on file.
Built in 1828, this seven-unit Brooklyn Heights walk-up has been held under the same private ownership since a deed transfer in October 2002. The building itself stays out of municipal code enforcement filings, leaving surrounding street patterns as the primary signal. Three things to know:
Helicopter traffic overhead is a noticeable presence on this block. 196 helicopter noise complaints recorded within three blocks over the last 12 months, with the most recent filed on September 19, 2026. The volume reflects active East River and harbor flight corridors directly overhead.
Nearby commercial food spots generate steady street-level activity. 95 food establishment calls logged within three blocks over the past year, dominated by 83 reports of pets or animals inside spots along nearby commercial strips alongside isolated rodent and garbage complaints.
Curb space within three blocks sees constant commercial turnaround. 304 illegal parking calls within three blocks over the past year, concentrated in 124 posted sign violations and 85 double-parking reports — delivery loading and double-parking rather than stored junk cars.
