Living on Furman Avenue in Brooklyn can be a challenge, with a grade of F and a score of 11.6 based on official city data, indicating significant issues that impact the quality of life for residents. The street is plagued by frequent noise disturbances, with both residential and street/sidewalk noise complaints being among the top issues. The persistent problem of loud music and parties, with a staggering 21 reports, suggests a culture of disregard for neighbors' peace and quiet. This is further exacerbated by loud talking and even the running of hydrants, adding to the cacophony of daily life on Furman Avenue.

The maintenance and upkeep of the buildings and public spaces on Furman Avenue are also major concerns. With 24 complaints related to maintenance or facilities and an equal number regarding heat and hot water issues, residents have been left to deal with substandard living conditions. The presence of abandoned and derelict vehicles, along with illegal parking, contributes to a cluttered and disorderly streetscape. The problem of blocked fire hydrants, with four reports of hydrants running, poses a serious safety hazard in case of a fire emergency. Additionally, the prevalence of rodent sightings and garbage or litter further underscores the unsanitary and neglected state of the street. Despite these issues, the nearby Rudd Playground maintains a high grade of A, highlighting the stark contrast between the well-maintained green space and the struggling street just blocks away.
