Small Bushwick walk-up with a thin building record, set against a lively surrounding block grid.
A six-unit Bushwick walk-up built in 1926 where building-level issues stay minimal, while the surrounding street grid experiences constant activity. Operations are tied to head officer Linda Vera. Three things to know:
A short pair of spring heat complaints cleared without open citations. Two building-wide heat and hot water calls were logged in April 2026, both resolved without open code citations. Beyond that short stretch, direct complaints against the address remain rare.
Street noise and block gatherings concentrate on the surrounding grid. Within three blocks, 93 residential noise calls and 85 street-noise calls were logged over the past year. Over 160 of those calls specifically named loud music and parties rather than commercial venues, showing a steady outdoor gathering pattern nearby.
Curb space stays heavily contested within three blocks of the building. 162 illegal parking calls were logged within three blocks over the past year. The pattern is driven by 84 blocked hydrants and 40 blocked sidewalks—short-term curb conflicts rather than abandoned cars.
