245 Grand Street, Brooklyn

A Williamsburg two-family building where street noise and nearby food establishment venting shape the surrounding block.

A two-family Williamsburg building dating back to 1899 sitting right on Grand Street. With just two residential units, there is zero internal friction on file, leaving the surrounding street life and commercial strip as the main factor. Three things to know:

Nightlife and street sound concentrate along the nearby commercial strip. Within three blocks of the building, 304 commercial noise calls and 272 street-noise complaints were logged over the last 12 months. Loud music and party calls make up the vast majority of these incidents along the commercial strip.

Commercial kitchen venting near the building creates potential air quality friction. There were 13 food establishment complaints within three blocks over the last 12 months. Kitchen exhaust lines and restaurant venting along commercial corridors can drift directly into upper-floor residential windows or air shafts.

Street parking and curb access stay tightly squeezed. Curb space stays pressurized with 384 parking calls within three blocks over the last year, primarily driven by posted sign violations and 93 blocked hydrants along the strip.

Quieter signals on this building and the blocks around it:

• 112 graffiti calls logged within three blocks over the past 12 months.
• 56 missed trash collection reports recorded in the surrounding three-block radius over the last year.
• 40 unsanitary condition calls logged within three blocks during the 12-month period.
