1222 St Marks Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11213

1222 St. Marks Avenue is a 3-story, 6-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Wendy Mcclinton. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout late 2024 and early 2025, with multiple complaints spanning December 2024 to February 2025, including three entire-building complaints and several apartment-specific issues.

These complaints resulted in at least one violation being issued in February 2025. The building also continues to grapple with maintenance problems, as evidenced by open violations from November 2024 related to both door issues and an ongoing rodent infestation problem in apartment 1B. Multiple violations from November 2024 in apartment 1B indicate problems with interior doors, peeling paint, and pest infestations, while a July 2024 violation in apartment 3A cited defective carbon monoxide detection equipment.

The building's inspection history reveals persistent rodent control challenges, with failed inspections noted in 2010, 2018, and 2019, though more recent inspections show improvement with passes noted in December 2019. Bedbug-related reports from 2021 and 2022 show no infested or re-infested units during those reporting periods, and the most recent reports indicate no incidents between 2020-2021. The property has undergone routine inspections for various violations, with multiple emergency service requests recorded through 311, particularly focused on heat and hot water issues. These recent service requests and violations suggest ongoing maintenance challenges affecting resident comfort and safety, particularly concerning essential services like heating and hot water, which appear to be a recurring theme in tenant complaints.
