1116 Carroll Street, Brooklyn, NY 11225

The four-story, 42-unit tenement building at 1116 Carroll Street in Crown Heights, owned by Marlene Stulbach, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues throughout 2024 and 2025. Most notably, there have been recurring heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building, with multiple complaints filed between January and February 2025, and water leak issues in March 2025 that resulted in violations being issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). The building has also faced unsanitary conditions, including multiple pest infestations (rodents and insects) documented between 2024 and 2025, with violations issued in December 2024 specifically noting mouse infestations and cockroach problems in apartments A22 and A23.

Additional serious concerns include safety violations for non-functioning smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, which were documented and closed in early 2025. The property has a history of illegal conversion complaints, with multiple such investigations between 2020 and 2021, though specific outcomes are not always clear from the records. There are also several active Department of Buildings violations regarding failure to file required energy benchmarking reports from 2019-2020.

Recent rodent activity has been consistently documented, with inspections showing ongoing rat presence, though some bait applications were implemented as a response. While the building has had some improvements, as evidenced by certain violations being closed, the pattern of recurring maintenance issues and safety concerns suggests ongoing challenges with property upkeep and resident comfort. The most recent inspection reports from 2025 indicate some continuing issues, particularly with water systems and pest control, despite multiple violation notices and inspections.
