1396 Herkimer Street, Brooklyn

A 1915 two-family house where the surrounding block carries heavy noise and curb friction.

A two-family Brooklyn townhouse built in 1915 on Herkimer Street in Ocean Hill. The building's code record is thin, but the surrounding blocks carry heavy noise and street friction. Three things to know:

Block noise is heavy, driven by late-night parties and music. 183 residential-noise complaints filed within three blocks over the last year, with 131 specifically logged as loud music or parties. Another 89 calls flagged street and sidewalk noise, making late-night sound a defining feature of the immediate neighborhood.

Surrounding buildings generate heavy pest and trash complaints. 135 unsanitary condition calls landed within three blocks over the past 12 months, driven by 86 pest reports and 25 garbage-storage complaints. While these calls reflect neighbor buildings, rodent and trash pressure on the block eventually reaches the rowhouses.

Driveway blockages and parking disputes spill onto the street. 98 blocked-driveway calls were logged within three blocks over the last 12 months, with 81 citing total loss of access. Combined with 63 illegal-parking reports nearby, curb space and driveway cutouts are a frequent source of neighbor friction.

Quieter signals on this building and the blocks around it:

• 63 illegal-parking and 20 abandoned-vehicle complaints logged within three blocks over the last 12 months.
• 25 animal-abuse and 25 rodent complaints recorded across the surrounding three-block radius over the last year.
