1146 President Street, Brooklyn, NY 11225

The four-story New Law tenement building at 1146 President Street in Crown Heights, owned by Michael Nedd, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past three years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in late 2023. Between September 2023 and April 2024, there were multiple reports and violations related to water leaks (both heavy flow and slow leaks), heating issues, stairway maintenance, and unsanitary conditions including mold and pest infestations, particularly affecting Apartment 3.

The building has undergone various inspections and received multiple violations, including for broken marble treads on stairs that were subsequently repaired in May 2024, and issues with staircase cleaning that were noted in April 2024. Recent inspections and reports indicate some improvement in building conditions. As of 2025, the property has passed its rodent inspections conducted in February 2025 and March 2024, though there was a failed inspection noted in September 2022.

The building has maintained a consistent record of zero bedbug infestations across its units in the most recent reports, with the latest filing in March 2025 showing no infested or re-infested units. While many of the historical maintenance issues appear to have been addressed (as indicated by closed violations), the frequency and nature of complaints during the late 2023 period suggest there were significant challenges with building systems such as plumbing and heating during that time. However, more recent service request data shows fewer complaints, indicating potential improvements in building maintenance and response times.
