Minimal operational filings for the building itself, but curb space and street parking dominate block activity.
Six-unit residential building in Borough Park constructed in 1931. While the building's own housing file remains thin, street-level activity around the address shows clear patterns. Two key things to know:
Street-level noise periodically reaches front-facing units. Six calls for street noise were logged from this address between October 2024 and October 2025, primarily citing late-night music and sidewalk parties. It represents the bulk of the building-scoped complaint record, suggesting noise from the street carries directly into front-facing units.
Curb space is heavily contested within three blocks. 511 illegal parking complaints were filed within three blocks over the trailing year, dominated by 330 blocked-hydrant calls and 30 double-parking reports. Another 131 complaints logged blocked driveways, pointing to intense daily competition for curb access right outside.
