1160 President Street, Brooklyn, NY 11225

1160 President Street is a 4-story, 27-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1919 and currently managed by owner Marilyn Byron. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple emergency complaints filed throughout 2025, particularly concentrated between January and April 2025, affecting the entire building. These complaints prompted HPD inspections and resulted in violations being issued, though heat and hot water were reportedly restored during inspections in most cases.

The building has also faced water-related issues, with two non-emergency complaints about water leaks (slow leak and damp spot) recorded in December 2024. Recent inspections from 2024 and 2025 have revealed several maintenance concerns, including multiple open violations related to broken plaster surfaces, water leaks, and mold conditions. Specific apartments with documented issues include 1C (ceiling and wall problems, water leaks, mold), 2B (bathroom ceiling, electrical issues, and kitchen sink connection), and 3A (plaster and paint defects). These violations, primarily classified as 'B' under the Housing Maintenance Code, have been documented between April and September 2024.

On the regulatory side, the building had violations issued for failure to file external low-pressure inspections for 2018-2020, though these were later dismissed in October 2023. Despite these challenges, the building has consistently passed rodent inspections since at least 2019, with the most recent inspection in February 2025 showing compliance. The persistent heat and hot water issues throughout 2025 and the presence of multiple open violations related to maintenance and water damage suggest ongoing challenges in building upkeep and systems reliability, while the successful rodent control measures indicate attention to pest management. The historical pattern of heat and water issues, now continuing into 2025, represents the most significant current concern affecting resident comfort and building systems.
