The five-story, 12-unit tenement building at 1578 1st Avenue, owned by Robert Eberhart, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues from 2020 through 2025, with six documented building-wide outages in 2024-2025 alone, including the most recent complaint from May 2025 that could not be verified by HPD inspectors due to access issues. The building also has a history of pest-related concerns, particularly during 2018-2021, with violations for pest infestations in public areas and multiple rodent activity reports between 2020 and 2022.
Sanitation issues have been documented through various complaints, including a 2021 violation regarding garbage/recycling storage conditions. The property underwent routine bedbug reporting between 2021-2024, consistently showing no infested units during the respective reporting periods. Recent activity includes a 2025 complaint about illegal hotel rooms in the residential building that was served as an Oath violation.
Historical code violations from 2018 related to roaches in public hallways and window guard requirements were resolved, and the building passed a rodent inspection in 2022 following several bait applications in 2020-2021. The building's systems have received various permits for emergency work between 2019-2020, though specific details of these repairs are not outlined in the available data. While many complaints have been addressed and closed, several heat and water service issues remain a notable pattern in the building's recent history, particularly in the winter months.
