132 New York Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216
The 3-story, 9-unit converted dwelling at 132 New York Avenue in Crown Heights, owned by Zach Spira and constructed in 1892, has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent months. In 2025, there were multiple complaints regarding unsanitary conditions, including pests (April and May), while heat and hot water problems were reported in April 2025 and January 2025, with at least one complaint still open as of May 2025.
The building faced significant issues in late 2024, with multiple emergency complaints related to water leaks, heavy flow, and mold, particularly affecting apartment 2F. Housing Maintenance Code violations were issued in late 2024 for various issues in apartment 2F, including a roach infestation, water leak, and deficiencies in smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. The property has an active Department of Buildings violation from June 2023 regarding failure to file 2018 and 2019 external low-pressure inspections.
Water-related issues were documented in November 2024, and rodent activity was noted as recently as April 2024, though a rodent inspection in April 2025 passed. Interestingly, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with no reported infestations in the past several years, including the most recent reporting period ending in October 2024. While the building's age and history suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, the most pressing current issues appear to be related to heat/hot water systems and pest control, based on the latest available data.
