225 Thomas S Boyland St, Brooklyn

An Ocean Hill three-family townhouse with open housing code violations on file and active street friction nearby.

A three-family Ocean Hill townhouse built in 1899 that carries five open violations, four of which stem from missing bedbug filings. The building has a relatively small operational record of its own, but sits on a block with noticeable street-level friction. Three things to know:

Five open housing violations, mostly administrative filings alongside a top-floor plaster call. Housing code enforcement carries five open violations against the property: four are administrative notices for failing to file annual bedbug reports, and one is an active class-B violation from June 2026 for damaged ceiling plaster and paint on the top floor.

Surrounding air quality and food-establishment calls point to potential odor drift. Within three blocks, neighbors logged four indoor air quality calls and four food establishment complaints over the past year. In a small townhouse setup, ventilation leaks or cooking exhausts from nearby commercial kitchens can travel through shared light wells or risers.

Street noise and curb congestion dominate the immediate three-block radius. Within three blocks over the last year, neighbors logged 108 illegal parking calls—mostly blocked hydrants and double-parking—and 106 residential noise complaints dominated by loud music and parties.

Quieter signals on this building and the blocks around it:

• The 108 illegal parking calls within three blocks mostly involve blocked hydrants and double parking rather than stored derelict vehicles.
• Nearby residential noise calls skew heavily toward late-night music and party noise rather than daytime construction.
• No recent building construction or plumbing alteration permits have been filed for the property.
