A three-family Boerum Hill townhouse under multi-decade ownership, where street-level commercial venting and corridor noise set the lived experience.
A 1910 Boerum Hill three-family house under the same family ownership since 1997. While the building's own record is clean of open code violations, the surrounding commercial corridor carries distinct air-quality and street patterns. Three things to know:
Food establishment and indoor air quality calls cluster along nearby commercial strips. Within three blocks, nearby commercial addresses have generated 25 food establishment calls and 9 indoor air quality reports over the last 12 months. Exhaust hood venting and kitchen odors are common lived-experience issues along mixed-use Boerum Hill avenues that do not appear on standard building filings.
Thirty years of continuous family ownership provides long-term management stability. Title transferred to Jean Lange and Stephen Ettlinger in March 1997, and Ettlinger remains listed as the managing officer. Nearly three decades of continuous family ownership provides management stability without corporate intermediary turnover.
Surrounding blocks show active parking enforcement and off-hours construction noise. Within three blocks of the house, street logs over the past year recorded 232 illegal parking issues—mostly bike-lane obstructions and blocked hydrants—plus 127 noise logs centered on off-hours construction. The house itself remains free of active code filings.
