Low-density 6-unit rental with minimal operational friction, but the street and sky bring real neighborhood noise.
Converted from a former Catholic church property acquired in 2022, this 6-unit Gowanus/Cobble Hill border building carries very few operational flags of its own. But the surrounding blocks see heavy street activity and overhead traffic. Three things to know:
A brief cluster of water quality complaints logged in June 2026. Four tap water quality complaints were logged from this address in late June 2026, all citing chemical or chlorine tastes and odors. It's a localized cluster rather than an ongoing issue, but worth testing the kitchen sink when you tour.
Street noise surges on the surrounding blocks. 275 street and sidewalk noise calls were logged within three blocks over the last year, mostly driven by loud music and parties (262 calls). The street-level energy is real, especially on weekend nights.
Curb space is heavily contested within three blocks. 343 illegal parking complaints within three blocks in the past 12 months. Commercial overnight parking (91 calls), posted sign violations (55), and blocked hydrants (52) dominate the pattern, showing tight curb competition around Degraw.
