553 52nd Street, Brooklyn

A 1905 Sunset Park three-family rowhouse where block-level street friction and commercial venting reads outweigh the sparse house file.

A three-family Sunset Park rowhouse built in 1905 that last transferred in 2007 for $868,000. City housing-code records for the building itself are unverified in this view, but street-level patterns in the immediate area show strong block friction. Three things to know:

Encampment calls dominate the surrounding blocks. 191 encampment calls were logged within three blocks over the trailing 12 months, running continuously into September 2026. This reflects a persistent street-level footprint in the surrounding neighborhood.

Food establishment calls point to neighborhood exhaust and odor bleed. 5 food establishment complaints were logged within three blocks over the last year, running through September 2026. Commercial exhaust and kitchen venting can drift through shared shafts or street-level windows into upper-floor residential units.

Curb access and driveways stay constrained. 146 illegal parking calls and 144 blocked driveway complaints were logged within three blocks over the last 12 months. The parking calls lean heavily on blocked hydrants (41 calls) and improper permit use (25 calls), making curb turnover unpredictable.

Quieter signals on this building and the blocks around it:

• 119 residential noise and 99 street noise calls were logged within three blocks over the last 12 months.
• 50 unsanitary condition calls were logged within three blocks over the past year.
