674 Carroll Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

674 Carroll Street is a four-story, four-unit residential building located in Park Slope, Brooklyn. The property, owned by Michelle Zassen, was constructed in 1930 and is classified as an Old Law Tenement. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years, with the most pressing concerns being related to heating systems and compliance with bedbug reporting requirements.

Most notably, in 2025, there were two separate complaints regarding a defective or inoperative boiler, though inspectors were unable to gain access to conduct proper evaluations. The building has multiple open violations from 2021-2024 regarding failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by Housing Maintenance Code, with similar violations noted in inspection records each year from 2021 to 2024. The property has experienced intermittent maintenance issues with heating systems, including a reported lack of heat or hot water in 2019, though inspections could not gain access to verify the conditions.

Rodent-related concerns have been documented, with a rat sighting reported in 2021 that, though minor violations were found during inspection, did not result in major penalties. The building did maintain some positive inspection outcomes, with initial rodent inspections in 2018 and 2021 passing successfully, and a permit related to electrical work was issued in July 2020. While the building has passed most routine inspections, the persistent open violations regarding bedbug reporting and recent boiler access issues suggest ongoing compliance challenges under the current ownership.
