1589 Park Place, Brooklyn, NY 11233
The two-story, five-unit tenement building at 1589 Park Place in Crown Heights, owned by Theodore Gordon, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent months. Most notably, in April 2024, the building received multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations, with several classified as Class C - indicating more serious concerns.
These included numerous instances of lead-based paint hazards in Apartment 1F, particularly affecting window frames, door frames, baseboards, and wainscoting in various rooms, along with problems related to self-closing doors. The building also faced regulatory scrutiny for failing to file the required annual bedbug report.
Two recent safety-related incidents were reported through 311 services in April 2024: a broken window guard (deemed an emergency) and issues with window/frames that resulted in HPD violations. The building's maintenance record stretches back several years, with a passed rodent inspection in March 2017 suggesting some degree of pest control compliance at that time. While the property has existed since 1910 and is classified as a "New Law Tenement," the recent cluster of violations and safety concerns warrants attention, particularly regarding the identified lead paint hazards throughout Apartment 1F and the failure to maintain proper window safety features.
