185a Schaefer Street, Brooklyn

A Bushwick two-family rowhouse with deep family ownership, sitting on a block heavy with residential noise and parking friction.

A 1925 two-family townhouse in Bushwick held by the same family since 2009. The city's housing code records are currently unverified for this parcel, so the read here shifts to title history and street-level friction across the surrounding block. Two things to know:

Long-term family ownership since 2009. Title transferred to the family in 2009 for $250,000, followed by a family deed adjustment in 2022. That long-term family ownership structure generally points to steady management, though code inspection data is unverified.

Party noise and hydrant disputes dominate the immediate area. Within three blocks of the house, residents filed 331 residential-noise complaints over the last year, driven mostly by party music (223 calls) and banging. On the curb, 206 illegal parking complaints logged in the same window, concentrated heavily around blocked hydrants (97 calls).

Quieter signals on this building and the blocks around it:

• Within three blocks, 90 street-noise complaints were logged over the last year, mostly for loud music and late-night party crowds.
• Driveway access is a frequent local headache, with 85 blocked-driveway calls recorded within three blocks in the past 12 months.
