302 Crown Street, Brooklyn, NY 11225

The property at 302 Crown Street in Crown Heights, owned by Benzicn Stock, is a two-story building constructed in 1925, currently classified as "Hereafter Converted Class A." The building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years, most notably regarding its boiler system. In April 2023, the building received multiple Environmental Control Board violations totaling $6,250 related to safety concerns including exposed wires, gas line issues, missing clean-outs, and other operational deficiencies in the boiler system.

These violations remain active as of July 2025. Additionally, both 2023 and 2024 external low-pressure inspection violations have been issued and remain active, indicating ongoing compliance issues with required safety inspections. The building has also had some interior maintenance issues, with paint and plaster complaints filed in June 2021 concerning ceilings (which received violations) and walls (which did not), and a mold-related complaint in May 2021 that was resolved without violations.

Despite these concerns, the building has consistently passed rodent inspections, with recent inspections in 2022, 2024, and February 2025 showing no rodent-related issues. While the presence of active violations suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, the regular passing of rodent inspections indicates effective pest management. The combination of recent boiler-related violations and multiple unaddressed safety inspection requirements represents the most significant current concerns for the property.
