915 St Marks Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11213

The four-story, 4-unit tenement building at 915 St. Marks Avenue in Crown Heights, owned by Gregory Anderson and constructed in 1908, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in early 2025.

Between February and March 2025, there were multiple emergency heat and hot water complaints for the entire building, followed by various maintenance issues including plumbing (toilet problems), electrical lighting issues, water leaks, and appliance concerns (electric/gas range). Notably, there are also open violation notices from September 2024 regarding safety concerns in apartment 4A, including defective plastered surfaces, missing carbon monoxide detectors, and a missing smoke detector, though some violations from previous years relating to repairs in common areas and building systems have been marked as closed. The building's recent history shows a pattern of maintenance challenges primarily related to basic systems such as heat, hot water, plumbing, and electrical infrastructure.

However, there is good news regarding pest control: the building has maintained a record of zero reported bedbug infestations since 2019, and passed rodent inspections in 2016 and 2018. The property has undergone various inspections and received permits over the years, including an electrical work permit issued in 2018, suggesting some level of infrastructure investment. While the building's recent maintenance record shows numerous complaints requiring attention, it's worth noting that many of these complaints were resolved through HPD inspections, with most being closed due to either correction or inspection results not showing violations.
