1492 Park Place, Brooklyn, NY 11213

The 24-unit, 4-story, 1919 tenement at 1492 Park Place in Crown Heights, currently owned by Christopher Bramwell, has been experiencing recurring maintenance issues throughout 2024-2025, with the most significant being persistent heat and hot water system problems. Between January and February 2025, the building received multiple heat/hot water complaints, all of which resulted in HPD violations being issued to the property owner. More recently, in March 2025, the building faced various infrastructure challenges, including unsanitary conditions with pests, plumbing issues, and mold concerns, some of which were categorized as emergencies.

The building has a notable history of rodent activity, with multiple compliance inspections and bait applications documented in early 2025, including recent findings of rat activity in June 2025. Additional building maintenance issues have been documented through Housing Maintenance Code violations. In late 2024, Apartment 2F was reported with multiple problems including a water leak, infestation concerns, and defective plastered surfaces.

Apartment 4B also had several violations noted in November 2024, including missing window guards, broken window mechanisms, and door-related issues. The building's health and safety record has shown consistent attention from housing authorities, with HPD conducting inspections and issuing violations, though they often allow property owners time to address the identified problems. On a positive note, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations over the past several years, with no reported cases or eradication efforts needed between 2019-2025, as per NYC's bedbug reporting requirements.
