217 Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11238
The 12-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement at 217 Eastern Parkway in Crown Heights, owned by Christopher Kole, has several notable patterns in its recent history. While the building has maintained consistent bedbug management with zero reported infestations between 2019 and 2025, it has faced recurring issues with rodent activity.
Most recently, in 2023, there were two confirmed rat sightings (June and September), though subsequent inspections in 2024 and 2025 passed without violations. The building's mechanical systems have shown some compliance challenges, particularly regarding pressure system inspections, with active violations as of June 2023 for failure to file the 2021 external low-pressure inspection report, though prior violations from 2017-2022 were dismissed.
The building experienced a heat and hot water emergency in December 2019 that was resolved quickly, and there was one construction-related complaint in 2022 that resulted in no violations. The property has maintained regular rodent inspections, with the most recent (June 2025) passing, indicating improved management of this recurring issue.
