840 Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11213

840 Eastern Parkway is a four-story, four-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1905 and currently owned by Nelia Collins. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over the past five years, with particular concerns in 2018-2019 when multiple complaints were filed regarding unsanitary conditions, including mold, and various paint/plaster issues affecting walls, ceilings, and radiators - though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify these conditions.

The property has had multiple electrical and appliance-related complaints, including wiring issues and problems with an electric/gas range in 2019, though no violations were ultimately issued for these claims. Recent records show more systematic attention to basic building maintenance, with the most recent important inspections noting the filing of bedbug reports (indicating no infestations) as of May 2024, and the most recent rat activity being recorded in February 2024, with follow-up inspections showing compliance in May 2024 and March 2025.

The building received several violations in 2019 relating to specific repairs needed in Apartment 2, including issues with plastered surfaces, door jambs, and a missing carbon monoxide detector, though these were subsequently addressed. The property has generally maintained compliance with basic safety requirements in recent years, with 2024 seeing regular bedbug reporting and rodent inspections, though there was one noted instance of rat activity in early 2024. The building's maintenance history suggests a pattern of resolving most issues when they are officially documented, though access for inspections has sometimes been a barrier to proper verification of certain complaints.
