1324 Carroll Street, Brooklyn, NY 11213

1324 Carroll Street is a 4-story, 33-unit New Law Tenement building located in Crown Heights, built in 1923 and currently owned by Shaul Cohen. The building has recently experienced persistent heating issues, with documented complaints about lack of heat and hot water throughout the entire building appearing regularly from 2022 through 2025, showing a concerning pattern of inadequate building systems. Most recently, in January 2025, there was another heat/hot water complaint that HPD could not fully inspect due to access issues.

The property has several open housing maintenance code violations as of December 2024, including issues with fire escape obstructions, rodent infestations, and various maintenance problems in apartment 3H, such as water leaks, plumbing issues, and pest problems. Additionally, there are violations related to building systems and safety features that require attention, including problems with a fire door and radiator shut-off valve. Historical complaints include a 2019 report of building shaking, which could indicate structural concerns, though inspectors were unable to gain access.

The boiler system has also been a point of concern, with violations recorded in 2021 regarding defective equipment, though this appears to have been resolved. Despite these issues, the building has maintained compliance with rodent inspections, passing all inspections from 2016 through 2025. The bedbug reports from 2021 through 2025 show no unit infestations, suggesting effective pest management in this regard. The pattern of heating system complaints and ongoing maintenance violations, particularly in recent years, suggests persistent challenges with building systems and maintenance under current ownership.
