1144 President Street, Brooklyn, NY 11225

1144 President Street is a 4-story, 8-unit residential building in Crown Heights, constructed in 1929 and currently owned by Eden Ashourzadeh. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout 2024, with three emergency complaints in the last quarter of 2024 alone, including both building-wide and apartment-specific problems. Notably, an inspection in December 2024 revealed unsafe conditions in apartment 4R, with violations for excessively hot water (exceeding 130 degrees) and defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

The building has a history of water-related problems, with two water leak complaints in 2022 and 2023 resulting in violations, as well as damp spot issues reported in 2024. Multiple door and window complaints between 2022 and 2024 were investigated, though no violations were found. The property has maintained a positive track record in pest management, with no reported infestations or eradications in its last eight bedbug reporting periods between 2019 and 2025, and recent rodent inspections in 2024 and 2025 resulted in passing grades, except for one failed inspection in September 2022. The building has undergone several safety-related inspections and improvements, with various violations being addressed throughout the years.

In 2024, there were multiple emergency complaints regarding doors and unsanitary conditions, which were inspected but resulted in no violations. A significant number of violations has been identified in recent months, including issues with fire escape equipment, yard maintenance, and water leak repair requirements. While some violations from 2024 have been closed, others remain open, including issues with concrete steps in the front area and carbon monoxide detector compliance in apartment 1R. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to heat and hot water systems, though these remain a recurring concern as evidenced by multiple complaints and violations.
