1254 Park Place, Brooklyn, NY 11213

The two-story, three-unit building at 1254 Park Place in Crown Heights, owned by Aurel Allen and built in 1901, has experienced significant maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent concerns occurring in June 2025 involving heavy water flow and bathtub/shower plumbing issues. Throughout early 2025, the building faced recurring problems with heating and hot water, with multiple complaints between January and February 2025 - some inspections were attempted but access could not be obtained, though one case noted restoration of services had occurred.

Additional service requests during this period included electrical issues (no lighting) and a door problem, though access for inspections was repeatedly unavailable. The building has open violations regarding bedbug reporting for the years 2022-2024, and in August 2021, several serious violations were recorded relating to illegal room conversions in the basement (B apartment), including illegal walls, unauthorized plumbing fixtures, and a gas range installation, though some of these violations were subsequently marked as closed.

Recent Department of Buildings records from July 2024 noted household items obstructing the first floor hallway passageway, resulting in an ECB violation with no penalties. While many of the recent complaints have been marked as closed, it's important to note that several involved inspection attempts where access was not granted, and there are multiple open violations regarding proper bedbug reporting procedures.
