163 Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11238

163 Eastern Parkway is a 6-story, 37-unit residential building constructed in 1916 and classified as a New Law Tenement, currently owned by Marvin Hellman. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with four such complaints registered between 2024-2025, including a recent emergency situation in January 2025 affecting the entire building. Other notable maintenance concerns include multiple water supply plumbing issues in 2024, door and window problems, and pest complaints during the same period.

While the building has generally passed rodent inspections conducted every six months since 2018, there have been documented rodent sightings in 2019 and 2023, with the most recent inspection in June 2025 passing as well. The building's systems have shown some concerning patterns, including a boiler violation documented in October 2020 regarding defective components and improper installation, though this was noted as resolved with no penalties imposed. The building has a somewhat mixed history with pest management, as evidenced by its bedbug reporting records, showing infestations in 2019 (3 units), 2022 (1 unit), and no reported cases in 2023-2024.

Emergency situations have required attention to electrical systems (power outage in 2022) and various plumbing issues, though most complaints have been resolved without violations being issued. The property has maintained compliance with regular rodent inspections, consistently passing these checks, with the most recent being conducted in June 2025. A pattern of building-wide issues affecting multiple units is evident, particularly in the areas of heating, plumbing, and pest control, though many complaints are investigated and closed without violations being recorded.
