187 Schaefer Street, Brooklyn

A two-family Bushwick home tied to an HDFC structure, set on a block with noticeable noise and parking activity.

This two-family Bushwick home sits under a West Bushwick 203K Housing Development Fund Corporation structure. With building-specific code filings unverified due to incomplete recent city records, the surrounding streetscape provides the clearest picture of day-to-day life. Three things to know:

Late-night party noise drives the surrounding block. 319 residential noise complaints were filed within three blocks over the last year, led by 210 reports of loud music and parties. Another 83 calls logged street and sidewalk noise, giving the surrounding block a consistent late-night soundtrack.

Surrounding air quality calls point to potential odor drift. 6 indoor air quality calls were logged within three blocks over the last 12 months. Odor and chemical vapor reports often signal street-level exhaust or riser bleed that can filter into apartments.

Blocked driveways and hydrants create persistent parking friction. 193 illegal parking complaints were logged within three blocks over the last year, primarily 91 blocked hydrants and 52 posted sign violations—short-errand friction rather than stored cars. Another 84 calls flagged blocked driveways along this stretch.

Quieter signals on this building and the blocks around it:

• 83 unsanitary condition calls were filed within three blocks in the past 12 months.
• 12 general construction and plumbing complaints were logged within three blocks over the last year.
• 5 encampment calls were recorded within three blocks over the last 12 months.
