924 St Marks Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11213

The 4-story, 7-unit building at 924 St Marks Avenue in Crown Heights, owned by Charles Rothstein, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years that warrant attention. Most pressing are recent rodent problems, with a May 2025 inspection confirming rat activity and an earlier rodent complaint from January 2025 that resulted in HPD violations. The building has encountered recurring heating and hot water issues, with emergency complaints registered in both October 2023 and October 2022, though in both instances tenants reported that the problems were resolved shortly after inspection.

Additional infrastructure concerns include multiple electrical problems, with a notable lighting complaint in October 2023, and various violations related to building safety features such as defective doors and balustrades. The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements for the past three years, with no reported infestations. Building systems maintenance has been monitored through periodic inspections, including a Local Law 188 compliance inspection in October 2024 that resulted in no violations.

Historical violations from 2022 included unsafe electrical wiring conditions and broken fire retardant materials in the 3rd-story public hall, though these were certified as corrected. The building's management has also recently filed permits related to electrical work in 2020 and 2021, suggesting ongoing improvements to building systems. While the property has experienced various maintenance challenges, records indicate that most issues have been addressed promptly through the appropriate channels, though some recent patterns of rodent problems and temperature control issues may merit continued monitoring.
