171 Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11238

171 Eastern Parkway, a 6-story, 23-unit residential building in Prospect Heights built in 1929, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over recent years. Most notably, three separate complaints regarding lack of heat or hot water in the entire building were filed in late 2021, March 2022, and most recently in November 2023, with the latest incident resulting in an open violation for water temperature exceeding 130 degrees in apartment F10 as of November 2023.

The building's management has generally addressed these complaints promptly, with the 2021 incident being resolved before HPD inspection and the 2022 issue being corrected following tenant confirmation. The property has maintained a promising record regarding pests and sanitation, with no reported instances of bedbugs across multiple annual reporting periods from 2019 through 2024, and consistently passing rodent inspections from 2018 through 2025.

While there are some outstanding violations recorded with the Department of Buildings, including an active violation from January 2021, the building's overall maintenance record shows regular compliance with housing codes. The property has demonstrated responsiveness to housing maintenance code complaints, though the recent heating system challenges suggest this remains an area requiring ongoing attention.
