576 Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11225
The 48-unit, 6-story building at 576 Eastern Parkway in Crown Heights, owned by Louis Herby and built in 1924, has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with heating and hot water systems, particularly in spring 2025, with at least four separate complaints between April and June 2025, including two instances where violations were issued. The building has also faced significant challenges with plumbing systems, evidenced by multiple bathtub/shower complaints and related violations.
Safety concerns have emerged as a pattern, with broken window guards reported in 2025 and multiple housing maintenance code violations, including issues with smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors in 2024. Recent inspections and service requests indicate ongoing maintenance challenges, including unsanitary conditions such as mold (reported in 2025), ventilation system problems, water leaks, and issues with building infrastructure like roofing and electrical systems. The elevator system has been a source of concern, with multiple complaints about single-device service and no alternate means of egress. Historical violations from 2020 relating to unauthorized gas piping installations and electrical work without permits remain active, suggesting potential safety concerns.
The building has also faced rodent issues, with multiple inspections indicating rat activity in 2025, though some inspections did pass with bait applied. Bedbug reports show one instance of infestation in 2023-2024 and another in 2019-2020, though subsequent eradications were reported. This summary reflects a building facing persistent maintenance challenges, particularly regarding essential services like heat/hot water and plumbing systems, along with ongoing safety and hygiene concerns. The presence of both active and historical violations related to gas and electrical systems suggests attention to building infrastructure maintenance is needed, while the recurring nature of heating, plumbing, and pest-related complaints indicates ongoing management challenges.
