1629 Park Place, Brooklyn, NY 11233

1629 Park Place is a 4-story, 23-unit New Law Tenement building located in Crown Heights, built in 1910 and currently owned by Kerry Kramer. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past 12 months, with three emergency complaints (in November and December 2024, and January 2025) regarding no heat or hot water in the entire building.

While inspections followed each complaint, the conditions were found not to violate housing laws, and heat and hot water were reportedly restored promptly in December 2024. The building has also faced various maintenance concerns in 2024, including issues with flooring/stairs, an electric/gas range, mold, water leaks, and multiple instances of paint/plaster problems affecting walls and ceilings between June and September 2024. All these complaints were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), though no violations were issued in any case.

More recent activity includes a Local Law 188/17 Compliance Inspection conducted on February 14, 2025, which found no violations. Encouragingly, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug incidents, with the most recent reporting period (November 2023 to October 2024) showing no infestations or instances of re-infestation, and the property was listed as bedbug-free on December 30, 2024. While the heat and hot water issues could be a concern for residents, it's worth noting that HPD inspections have consistently found no violations, indicating that while the problems are recurring, they may be addressed relatively quickly when reported.
