144 Utica Avenue in Crown Heights is a three-story, three-unit residential building constructed in 1920, currently owned by Mark Weinberger. The property has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues, with six documented complaints about heat/hot water problems affecting the entire building between 2023 and 2024, including two emergency complaints in December 2024.

The building has also faced various maintenance challenges, including a water leak and mold-related sanitary issue in March 2024, for which inspections verified some corrections but with no violations issued. Apartment 1 has documented violations in late 2023, including issues with plastered surfaces, water leaks, and a defective door requiring repair, while Apartment 2 experienced similar challenges with inadequate hot water supply, door issues, and a roach infestation in July 2023, though these violations have since been closed. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of emergency heating system complaints, with multiple incidents over the past two years, suggesting ongoing infrastructure challenges.

Notably, the property has consistently filed annual bedbug reports since 2021, with zero reported infestations or eradication cases in the past three years. Historical complaints dating back to 2018 include ventilation system concerns and a missing signage issue in 2022, both of which were resolved.
