1035 Union Street, Brooklyn, NY 11225

The four-story, 19-unit building at 1035 Union Street in Crown Heights, owned by Abraham Schwartz, has experienced multiple maintenance challenges in recent years, with the most pressing issues occurring between 2023-2024. Notable problems included water-related emergencies in February 2024 involving heavy flow leaks, various unsanitary conditions including pest infestations, and multiple electrical violations. The building's HVAC system was problematic in late 2023 when residents reported lack of heat and hot water, though no violations were found during the inspection.

Multiple complaints regarding water leaks, plumbing issues, and flooring problems were filed in February 2024, though Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to gain access for inspections in these cases. More recent concerns include a smoking violation in late 2024 and a mobile food vendor issue, both of which were addressed by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH). The building has shown ongoing challenges with rodent activity, with multiple bait applications recorded in 2024-2025.

While the building has maintained an active bedbug reporting record from 2021-2024 showing no documented infestations, it has experienced three periods of rat activity as evidenced by the most recent inspections. The property's electrical systems have been a persistent concern, with violations documented in 2023 relating to lighting and outlet issues, though these were subsequently addressed. The building's fire escape access was temporarily compromised in 2024 due to household items, though this violation was certified as corrected in May 2024.
