A classic Bed-Stuy two-family house where the surrounding block carries most of the texture.
A 2-family Bed-Stuy townhouse built in 1899 that generates little direct paperwork, but sits on a busy stretch of Kosciuszko Street. Housing-code violation data for the building itself isn't fully available, so the read here comes from surrounding block activity and ownership history. Two things to know:
Surrounding buildings drive heavy mold and pest complaints. 140 unsanitary condition calls were logged within three blocks over the last 12 months, running through September 18, 2026. The complaints heavily feature mold (68 calls) and pests (52 calls) across neighboring addresses rather than street trash.
Curb space and late-night noise keep the surrounding streets active. 102 illegal parking complaints—mostly blocked hydrants and bike lanes—plus 100 residential noise calls were logged within three blocks over the last year. That reflects active curb friction and normal neighborhood density on this stretch.
