187 17th Street, Brooklyn

Small Park Slope walk-up with a thin building file, sitting on a block face with heavy street activity.

Six-unit Park Slope walk-up where the interior operation stays clean while the surrounding block carries heavy street-level traffic. Three things to know:

Inside the front door, the record is practically blank. Zero open housing violations and no active filings on record. The building's official officer is listed as Joseph Rabinovich, keeping operations small-scale and self-contained.

Encampment complaints concentrate heavily within three blocks. 204 encampment calls within three blocks over the last 12 months, with the most recent logged in September 2026. It is a prominent pattern on the surrounding streets right up to the blockface.

Parking and curb access are constant friction points nearby. 295 illegal parking complaints within three blocks over the last year—mostly blocked hydrants (127) and posted sign violations (49), pointing to tight curb pressure rather than long-term abandoned vehicles.

Quieter signals on this building and the blocks around it:

• 76 dirty condition calls within three blocks over the last year, mostly trash accumulation
• 75 homeless person assistance requests logged within three blocks in the last 12 months
• 26 rodent complaints within three blocks over the trailing year
• The building itself carries no operational open items, but the surrounding streets are busy and active.
