221a Wyckoff Street, Brooklyn

Curb friction and parking access dominate the three blocks surrounding this 1871 Boerum Hill townhouse.

An 1871 two-family townhouse in Boerum Hill that changed hands for $2.15M in June 2025. While the small building itself stays mostly out of city operational filings, street-level activity carries the record. Three things to know:

Curb pressure and driveway access issues lead surrounding street filings. Within three blocks of the house, street complaints over the past year center heavily on vehicular access: 473 illegal parking calls, driven by 196 blocked hydrants and 83 posted-sign violations, alongside 69 blocked-driveway reports. It points to constant short-term parking turnover and tight curb space rather than long-term vehicle storage.

A $2.15M sale in June 2025 ended decades of continuous family ownership. Deed transfers show the property shifted from long-held family trust stewardship to individual buyers for $2.15M in June 2025. That transaction closed out a continuous family ownership line dating back to the 1980s.

Quieter signals on this building and the blocks around it:

• Within three blocks, 62 residential noise calls were logged over the last year, primarily for loud music and parties.
• The building's own street filings show just one closed trash disposal report from late 2024.
