1150 President Street, Brooklyn, NY 11225

The 16-unit, 4-story tenement building at 1150 President Street in Crown Heights, owned by David Sputz and built in 1915, has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in 2024-2025. Most notably, there have been multiple water-related problems, with three separate water leak complaints in 2025 alone, including reports of slow leaks, damp spots, and heavy flow conditions.

The building has also faced significant heating issues, with a December 2024 complaint about lack of heat and hot water affecting the entire building. Other recurring concerns include pest infestations, as evidenced by multiple complaints in 2024-2025, and various maintenance violations in apartment D2, including lead paint hazards, flooring issues, and plumbing problems identified during a June 2024 inspection. More recent issues include a June 2025 complaint about unsanitary conditions related to pests that could not be properly investigated due to access issues.

The building's recent history also reveals some structural and system concerns, including a December 2023 complaint about building shaking or vibration and a boiler inspection in January 2025 that faced access issues. An Environmental Control Board violation was issued in December 2023 regarding deteriorating cornice conditions with a $2,500 penalty, though this status is listed as "Resolved." Despite these challenges, it's worth noting that the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations since 2019, with zero reported cases in all annual filings. Additionally, the property has consistently passed rodent inspections, with the most recent inspections in February 2025 and March 2024 showing passing results, suggesting some level of effective pest management.
