1601 Park Place, Brooklyn, NY 11233
The two-story, four-unit tenement building at 1601 Park Place in Crown Heights, owned by Berry Feder, has demonstrated ongoing maintenance challenges since 2021. Most recently in May 2025, there were multiple service requests regarding a water leak, door issues, and wall problems, though HPD inspectors were unable to gain access for proper evaluation of these complaints. The building experienced substantial heating system issues in early 2023, with violations recorded for inadequate heat in both the entire building and specifically in apartment 2B, while similar heating complaints were also noted in 2021.
February 2022 was particularly concerning, with multiple safety violations documented including missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 1B, as well as a serious water temperature control issue. The building has had documented pest problems, with a 2022 HPD inspection revealing roach and mouse infestations in apartment 1B, though subsequent inspections in 2022 and 2019 showed no violations. While the building's most recent bedbug reports from 2020 through 2024 consistently show zero infested units, and a rodent inspection in 2017 resulted in a passing grade, the pattern of heating system failures, access issues for inspections, and various safety concerns suggest ongoing maintenance and accessibility challenges.
The property, which dates back to 1910, has had several documented violations that were ultimately resolved, including issues with a locked boiler room door in January 2023 and various building maintenance concerns. A 2024 complaint about work done without a permit was investigated but resulted in no violations being found. Despite these challenges, the building's maintenance record shows that most violations have been addressed, though the pattern of recent complaints suggests there may be recurring access issues for inspections and maintenance. The most recent bedbug reporting period (2024-2025) shows no infestations, maintaining the building's mostly clean record in this regard.
