1161 President Street, Brooklyn, NY 11225
The 4-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement at 1161 President Street in Crown Heights, currently owned by Joseph Yaakovzadeh, has experienced significant maintenance issues recently, particularly regarding building-wide heat and hot water problems. Between October 2024 and November 2024, there were repeated complaints about inadequate heating and hot water affecting the entire building, with multiple emergency complaints filed through the Housing Maintenance Code system. As of now, there remains an open Class C violation concerning a cockroach infestation in Apartment 1, while previous mold issues in Apartment 8 have been elevated to Class B violations.
The building has undergone several inspections and received various repair orders in 2024, addressing multiple issues including plumbing problems, unsanitary conditions, and maintenance concerns related to doors, windows, and flooring. Historically, the building appears to have maintained satisfactory rodent control, passing multiple inspections between 2011 and 2025. Bedbug inspections conducted from 2021 through 2025 indicate no infestations during those periods.
While there were some maintenance issues reported through 311 services in 2024, including problems with the intercom system and various apartment conditions, these were generally addressed through inspections, though some complaints regarding access limitations prevented full evaluations. The building's history shows regular inspections and prompt responses to various maintenance issues, though the recent heating problems suggest current system deficiencies. Two complaints filed in 2018 and 2019 regarding building permits were closed with no violations observed during inspections.
