643 St Marks Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 643 St. Marks Avenue in Crown Heights, owned by David Parker and constructed in 1910, has experienced several notable events over its recent history.

Most recently, in May 2024, the building generated multiple complaints, including issues with doors/windows and missing signage, with the latter resulting in violations from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). A potentially significant ongoing concern is an active complaint from May 2024 regarding an improper Certificate of Occupancy, with an inspection scheduled for December 2024. The building has experienced some maintenance issues in the past, including an emergency heat and hot water outage in August 2018 that was reportedly resolved within a week.

The property has demonstrated effective pest management, particularly concerning bedbugs, with reports showing no infested units in the most recent 2020-2021 reporting period, and successful eradication of three units in the previous 2019-2020 period, indicating active management of this issue. The building's 311 service history shows a pattern of addressing various maintenance issues, though with varying degrees of resolution, as evidenced by the recent 2024 complaints. The property transitioned to a Class A building designation, though its current operating status remains under examination due to the recent Certificate of Occupancy complaint.
