A turn-of-the-century Clinton Hill rowhouse where the surrounding blocks carry the primary operational signals.
A three-family Clinton Hill rowhouse built in 1899. Small residential properties like this generate little agency paperwork, but the immediate block faces heavy street activity. Two things to know:
Basement water issues surfaced in early 2026. A complaint was filed in March 2026 regarding excessive water in the basement. Given the building's 1899 masonry foundation, sub-grade water management is the main physical system to verify.
Street-level parking and noise complaints dominate the surrounding area. The surrounding three blocks logged 138 illegal parking calls in the last year, largely concentrated around blocked crosswalks and hydrants, alongside 74 residential noise calls. Curb-space friction is consistent right outside.
