1444 Park Place, Brooklyn, NY 11213
1444 Park Place in Crown Heights is a 6-story, 66-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1928 and currently owned by Benjamin Schwartz. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, particularly notable during December 2024 when multiple complaints were filed regarding both apartment-specific and building-wide problems. These issues resulted in violations for temperatures exceeding the maximum allowable limit of 130 degrees in apartments A7 and F2, with other violations remaining open concerning hot water provision and access to the heating system.
Recent service requests have also documented problems with the building's intercom system, prompting inspections in both January and May 2025. The elevator system has faced challenges, most recently documented in a September 2023 complaint about single device service, which resulted in an Oath violation. The property has a history of maintenance and safety concerns beyond heating issues, including multiple violations documented in 2024 for various building systems.
These include a cluster of violations in May 2024 pertaining to apartment F2 involving kitchen cabinet, flooring, and plaster issues, as well as problems with refrigerator door gaskets and roof leaks. The building's elevator maintenance has been a persistent concern, with both 2023 and 2020 DOH inspections noting various operational and maintenance issues. While the building has maintained reasonable compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing mostly zero infestation counts since 2020 with only one reported case in 2024, and has cleared several rodent inspections, rat activity was confirmed in both 2015 and 2020 inspections. The property has demonstrated some effort to address violations, as evidenced by multiple permits issued between 2020-2022 for various repairs and maintenance work, though some violations, including those related to work without a permit and heating system access, remain pending resolution according to the latest available data.
