506 Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11225

506 Eastern Parkway, a 4-story New Law tenement building constructed in 1914 and currently owned by RJ Parker Corp, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, most notably a pattern of heat and hot water outages affecting the entire building. Between January and February 2025, multiple complaints were filed through the 311 system and Housing Maintenance Code complaints, all categorized as emergencies. While some of these complaints were closed after inspections confirmed restoration of services, the recurring nature of these outages suggests an ongoing infrastructure challenge.

The building has also been the subject of rodent activity concerns, with inspections in 2024 and 2025 recording "Rat Activity" findings, though earlier inspections from previous years showed compliance and passed. The property has undergone various repairs and maintenance work, including significant issues addressed in 2023 in Apartment A3, where violations related to a defective wood subfloor and door issues were corrected. A 2019 inspection of Apartment B2 revealed several key safety concerns now resolved, including a defective carbon monoxide detector, door issues, and concerns about a disconnected radiator in the public hall.

The building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements for the past three years, with consistent filings showing zero infested units. Regular inspections from 2013 to 2025 have shown variable results for rat inspections, though compliance was maintained in earlier years. While the building has addressed many individual violations and complaints, the cluster of recent heat/hot water issues suggests ongoing systems challenges that have persisted into 2025.
