1172 President Street, Brooklyn, NY 11225

1172 President Street is a 20-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building constructed in 1916, currently owned by Anthony Francis and located in Crown Heights. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with emergency complaints registered in 2019, 2022, and most recently in April 2023 affecting the entire building. In late 2023, multiple service requests were filed regarding building maintenance, including issues with doors/windows, flooring, and appliances, though inspectors were unable to gain access to evaluate these complaints.

The building has undergone regular rodent inspections from 2011 to 2025, all of which have passed, indicating ongoing pest management compliance. A review of bedbug reporting from 2020 to 2024 shows no reported infestations, while recent maintenance inspections in 2024 confirmed the absence of vermin issues. The property has a documented history of maintenance requirements and violations, with the most significant issues occurring in apartment 2 during 2019, including problems with water supply pipes, window repairs, and security features.

Violations issued in 2020 required attention to wall and ceiling surfaces, though these were subsequently addressed. The building's front fire escape was cleared of flower pots blocking egress in 2019, and various door-related issues were identified and corrected between 2019 and 2020. While the building has experienced periodic maintenance challenges, particularly regarding heat and hot water systems, regular inspections and prompt attention to violations demonstrate ongoing compliance with housing maintenance requirements. The absence of recent bedbug and rodent issues, along with the resolution of multiple maintenance violations, suggests improved overall building conditions, though the periodic recurrence of heat/hot water complaints remains a noteworthy concern.
