A Fort Greene townhouse with long-term individual ownership, anchored in a block radius driven by street parking friction and commercial kitchen venting.
A two-family townhouse built in 1890 on Cumberland Street. Because it functions as a small residential property, building-level code filings are sparse and housing violation data is currently unverified. Three things to know:
Long-term individual footprint spanning over two decades. Deed transfers show a purchase in 2003 followed by a 2018 transfer for $686,900 between family members. That multi-decade footprint points to end-user occupancy rather than institutional turnover.
Commercial exhaust and kitchen venting affect the immediate surroundings. The surrounding three blocks recorded 11 food establishment calls in the last year alongside 70 commercial noise complaints. Restaurant kitchen venting, cooking odors, and mechanical exhaust can drift into residential windows depending on elevation and airflow.
Hydrant and bike-lane blockage dominate nearby curb calls. Within three blocks of the house, street activity generates consistent friction. The area logged 196 illegal parking calls over the last year, led by 53 blocked hydrants and 50 blocked bike lanes — double-parking and curb conflicts rather than long-term vehicle storage.
