1136 St Marks Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11213
The two-story, four-unit tenement building at 1136 St. Marks Avenue in Crown Heights, built in 1910 and owned by Harris Donovan, has experienced several notable incidents over recent years.
Most significantly, as of June 2025, there is an active complaint regarding an alleged illegal conversion at the property, which was filed in June 2025 and remains unresolved. In August 2020, the building faced multiple housing maintenance issues, including complaints about ceiling and wall paint/plaster conditions, as well as reports of mold creating unsanitary conditions.
The Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) attempted to investigate these complaints, but was unable to gain access to the premises for inspection purposes, resulting in all three complaints being closed without resolution in September 2020. While the building's recorded issues appear to have subsided since 2020, the current illegal conversion complaint from 2025 raises potential concerns about the property's compliance with building regulations.
