1160 St Marks Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11213
The two-story, four-unit tenement at 1160 St Marks Avenue in Crown Heights, built in 1910 and owned by Marva Beckwith-Moore, has experienced persistent heating and safety issues throughout 2023-2024. Of particular concern is a series of *heat/hot water* complaints in 2024, with multiple emergency citations showing building-wide and unit-specific problems that multiple HPD inspections could not access or verify, though one inspection in May 2024 resulted in violations.
The building currently has several open Housing Maintenance Code violations from May 2024, including requirements for carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, proper security on heating system access, and various signage requirements. A complaint regarding the building's boiler system from May 2024 did not allow for proper inspection access. Additionally, the property faced issues with garbage/recycling storage and water supply problems in December 2023, though these were eventually resolved.
The building's inspection history from May 2024 shows a concerning pattern of emergency complaints and access issues, particularly regarding the heating system which remains a recurring problem despite multiple complaints throughout 2023 and 2024. The current open violations suggest ongoing challenges with fire safety systems (including missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors), heating system access, and proper building signage. While some issues have been addressed through inspections, including a plumbing complaint from December 2023, the persistence of heating system problems and the number of complaints requiring multiple access attempts for inspection raises questions about consistent maintenance access for building systems and emergency response readiness.
