21 Ludlam Place, Brooklyn

A two-unit Crown Heights original with long family roots and active surrounding block traffic.

A 1925 two-family house in Crown Heights that has stayed in family hands across generations, including a 2023 deed transfer to an estate administrator. The house keeps out of the operational filings, but the surrounding blocks carry noticeable street friction. Three things to know:

Long-term family ownership dominates the paper trail. City filings show decades of history under the Payne family name, culminating in a 2023 deed transfer to an estate administrator. That long-term family holding means the property hasn't cycled through frequent investor flips.

Residential noise concentrated on surrounding blocks. 486 residential noise calls were logged within three blocks over the last year, driven heavily by 295 banging and pounding reports and 142 loud music complaints. The volume is elevated for the area, so unit orientation relative to the street matters.

Double-parking and sidewalk blockages crowd the surrounding streets. 434 illegal parking calls were filed within three blocks over the last year, with 133 double-parking reports and 73 blocked-sidewalk calls leading the list. Curb space and sidewalk clearance are active friction points in the immediate area.

Quieter signals on this building and the blocks around it:

• 102 unsanitary condition reports logged within three blocks in the last year, led by mold and pest calls.
• 61 blocked driveway complaints recorded within three blocks over the trailing 12 months.
