Living on East 85th Street in Brooklyn can be a challenge, as reflected by its grade of F and the high number of complaints from residents. The street is plagued by persistent parking issues, with blocked driveways and illegal parking being the top grievances. Residents often find themselves unable to access their own driveways due to vehicles parked in front, with some even reporting no access at all for days at a time. This not only causes inconvenience but also creates safety hazards, as fire trucks or emergency vehicles might struggle to navigate the street in case of an emergency.

Noise pollution is another significant problem on East 85th Street. Residents frequently complain about loud music or parties, often late into the night, disrupting their sleep and daily routines. Additionally, unsanitary conditions and pest infestations have been reported, suggesting that some properties might not be well-maintained. The water system and plumbing issues also pose inconveniences, with residents reporting problems with heat, hot water, and water leaks.

The street's condition is further exacerbated by abandoned and derelict vehicles, which contribute to the visual blight and can harbor pests or become a safety hazard if not removed. Some residents have also reported blocked fire hydrants, which could potentially hinder firefighting efforts in case of a fire. Despite these challenges, residents have shown resilience by filing numerous complaints, indicating a desire for change and improvement.
