Brooklyn Community District 18, which covers Canarsie, Flatlands, Bergen Beach, Mill Basin and Marine Park, had a homeownership rate of 59.8 percent in 2024, about double Brooklyn's overall rate, and a median property value of about $775,100, according to census figures compiled by Data USA. With roughly 200,000 residents, it is the borough's largest concentration of owner-occupied homes.
Most of those homes are attached and semi-detached houses with a basement, a panel and decades of changes made by earlier owners. Blocks closer to Jamaica Bay sit low, so basement water is a recurring worry: sump pumps need their own circuits and a backup plan, and panels in basements that have flooded need testing before they are trusted again. Above the basement, the usual request is more capacity for air conditioning, induction ranges and chargers.

DetailsCanarsie and Flatlands permits
Brooklyn follows the same rules as the rest of the city: the 2025 NYC Electrical Code, filing with the Department of Buildings for permitted work and inspection requested through DOB NOW. In flood zones, the city's flood-resistant construction rules shape where a replaced panel or service can sit. Service upgrades involve Con Edison for the meter and reconnection, which we schedule as part of the job.

With a battery backup or a generator connection, yes. We help you choose based on how often the basement takes water.
