135 Putnam Avenue, Brooklyn

A long-held Bed-Stuy family townhouse set on a block with active street activity.

A two-unit Bed-Stuy rowhouse that has stayed within the same family for years, shifting into a family revocable trust on July 5, 2024. As a small residential townhouse, the building itself generates very few city filings, so the surrounding streetscape tells most of the story. Two things to know:

Long-term family ownership shifted into a revocable trust in July 2024. Deed filings show title moving between family members before transferring into a family trust on July 5, 2024. This signals long-term family ownership rather than a recent investor flip or developer purchase.

The surrounding blocks carry heavy curb friction and recurring party noise. Within three blocks of the house, curb space stays busy. The surrounding area logged 157 illegal parking calls over the past year (mostly sign violations and blocked bike lanes) alongside 109 residential noise complaints, where 98 of those calls were driven specifically by loud music and parties.

Quieter signals on this building and the blocks around it:

• 72 dirty condition calls within three blocks over the last year, primarily trash along the sidewalk.
• 30 encampment calls and 23 drug activity complaints logged within three blocks in the past 12 months.
