1679 Union Street, Brooklyn

A 1901 Crown Heights two-family townhouse held under long-term family trust ownership.

A two-family Crown Heights townhouse built in 1901 with multi-generational family history on the deed. As a small two-unit building, it sits outside standard multi-family filing tracks, so the focus shifts to ownership setup and surrounding block conditions. Three things to know:

Long-term family ownership shifted into a trust in 2016. Deed transfers trace continuous family interest going back to 1968, moving into a supplemental needs trust in October 2016. That generational ownership means long stability without frequent investor flipping.

Neighbourhood residential noise centers on parties and music. Within three blocks, residential noise logged 190 calls in the past year, primarily loud music and parties (101 calls) plus loud talking and pounding, indicating active neighborhood residential sound rather than commercial bar strips.

Quieter signals on this building and the blocks around it:

• 179 unsanitary condition calls within three blocks in the last year, mostly pests and mold.
• 107 illegal parking calls logged within three blocks over the past 12 months.
