A Bushwick three-family house sold to a church group in 2025, sitting on a high-volume block.
A 2008-built three-family townhouse in Bushwick where ownership just shifted from a group of individual owners to a local church organization for $1.75M. Building-level complaints are minor, but the surrounding block carries heavy noise and smoking call volume. Three things to know:
Ownership transferred to a religious organization in early 2025. Title transferred in January 2025 to Primera Iglesia Getsemani for $1,750,000. Institutional buyers in small residential buildings often change how the property is used, managed, or maintained compared to a private landlord.
Driveway access accounts for the building's own operational friction. Building filings are minimal, but curb friction shows up right at the curb line with four blocked-driveway complaints filed between April and September 2025.
The surrounding three blocks see heavy smoking and noise complaints. Within three blocks, city channels logged 304 smoking complaints (almost entirely smoke-free area violations), 182 residential noise calls dominated by loud parties, and 143 illegal parking complaints over the last year. The building stays out of the paperwork, but the block is active.
