1475 President Street, Brooklyn, NY 11213

The 16-unit, four-story tenement building at 1475 President Street in Crown Heights, owned by Kenneth Roesenblum, has a long history of maintenance issues and violations dating back to 1990. The most recent significant violation was in 2016, relating to inadequate garbage disposal facilities in the yard, though this was resolved by March 2020. In 1990, multiple violations were documented in Apartment 3, including unauthorized alterations, painting requirements, and plaster repairs, while other violations affected different apartments and common areas, including window replacements, masonry repairs, and public hall ceiling painting.

More recent building maintenance records from 2020-2021 show some active violations, particularly regarding an elevator issue that was resolved in May 2021. The building's pest management history shows three bedbug reports between 2022-2024, with one confirmed infestation in Apartment 3 in 2023, though it was reported as eradicated. The property has experienced varying rodent activity, with the most recent inspection in May 2025 passing compliance, following a February 2025 inspection that noted rat activity.

The building underwent several repairs and improvements between 2018-2020, as evidenced by multiple permits for plumbing, electrical, and other work, though specific details of these improvements are not provided in the records. While the building has maintained some level of regulatory compliance in recent years, the history indicates periodic maintenance challenges and pest management issues that have required ongoing attention. The most recent records suggest relatively better conditions, with no bedbug infestations reported in the most recent filing (2024) and recent rodent inspections showing improved compliance, though past patterns indicate that residents should remain vigilant about maintenance communication.
