All in the family.

Alan Fishman, who stepped down as the chairman of Brooklyn Academy of Music’s board of trustees in January, has sold his Brooklyn Heights Historic District house to his son.

According to city Finance Department records, Alan H. Fishman and his wife Judith R. Fishman sold 6 Willow Place for $4.5 million to Benjamin D. Fishman and his wife Elizabeth Weinreb Fishman.
