1375 Dekalb Avenue, Brooklyn

Longtime family ownership in Bushwick, set against a high-activity corridor.

A three-family Bushwick residential building that has stayed in the same family line since 1999, eventually shifting title into a family trust in December 2022. Small small-building files leave little paper to underwrite, so the surrounding block carries the lived experience. Three things to know:

Decades in the same family line. Title transferred from long-term family owners to the Lao Family Irrevocable Trust in December 2022 for $150,000. That is a classic intra-family estate planning move, keeping ownership anchored rather than turning the building over to a corporate operator.

Residential party noise dominates the immediate surroundings. 215 residential noise complaints hit within three blocks over the last 12 months, driven heavily by late-night parties and music (153 calls) rather than ambient traffic. If your windows face Dekalb Avenue, that block energy comes right through.

Parking space and driveway access get fought over daily. 135 illegal parking calls and 108 blocked driveway complaints logged within three blocks in the past year. Blocked hydrants (48) and driveways with no access (90) make curb space and drive access active friction points around the address.

Quieter signals on this building and the blocks around it:

• 37 encampment complaints logged within three blocks over the past year.
• 27 rodent complaints recorded within three blocks in the last 12 months.
• 6 indoor air quality calls logged within three blocks in the trailing 12 months.
