122 Van Buren Street, Brooklyn

A historic Bed-Stuy two-family house where block-level sanitation and air-quality patterns drive the read.

A two-family Bedford-Stuyvesant townhouse built in 1899 where building-scoped filings are sparse. For a two-family property, the underwriting focus shifts away from shared-hall friction and straight to building systems and the immediate block environment. Three things to know:

Block-level sanitation complaints center on pest and mold issues. Within three blocks, unsanitary condition calls total 113 over the last year. The complaints concentrate on pests (46 calls) and mold (38 calls), along with 23 trash storage issues, pointing to persistent block-level waste management friction around the immediate neighborhood.

Surrounding air quality and food complaints suggest potential odor bleed. There are 13 indoor air quality complaints and 4 food establishment calls within three blocks over the past 12 months, with the most recent air quality filing logged September 9, 2026. Nearby commercial kitchens or ground-floor vents can bleed odors and fumes into adjacent residential risers.

Curb space remains tight with active parking enforcement nearby. There are 77 illegal parking complaints within three blocks over the last 12 months. The volume is led by parking permit improper use (29 calls) and posted sign violations (10 calls)—showing active curb enforcement and parking competition around the surrounding streets.

Quieter signals on this building and the blocks around it:

• 61 residential noise calls recorded within three blocks over the trailing 12 months.
• 25 rodent complaints logged across the surrounding three-block radius in the past year.
• 22 sidewalk graffiti calls filed nearby over the last 12 months.
