Interestingly enough this house front is blurred on Google Street view: - https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7314243,-74.0048529,3a,75y,246.44h,88.78t/data=!3m6!1e

  So a homeowner is allowed to blur their property on Street View, but the affects cannot be undone[1]. 1: https://www.sfgate.com/realestate/article/Google-Street-View-blurred-houses-14096605.php https://www.sfgate.com/realestate/article/Google-Street-View...

    "Once Google blurs an image, the effect is permanent," What's not clear to me is if you can put in a request to not have future images blurred (or if a new owner can make this request), or if you can blur images of the property from before you bought it. Apparently, the current owner of this house bought it in 2013, but Street View has blurred out 2 images from before that. It's possible that the previous owner wanted it blurred, too. Who knows?

  This got me curious...it turns out you can ask to have your home blurred and apparently it is irreversible. Seems odd for such an interesting house to not want to be seen on Google maps. Or perhaps the owner was standing out front at the time? https://support.google.com/maps/answer/7011973 https://support.google.com/maps/answer/7011973

    The way I read it, the photo can't be changed, but surely in some years they will take a new photo?

  It's the adjacent house (75 Bedford St) that is blurred.
