919 Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11213

919 Eastern Parkway is a 37-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building constructed in 1923, currently owned by Linus Joseph. The property has experienced persistent maintenance challenges throughout 2024-2025, with multiple tenant complaints and violations emerging as significant concerns. Most notably, there have been recurring issues with sanitation, including garbage storage (June 2025) and rampant rodent activity, with baiting operations ongoing between March and July 2025, despite reports of rat activity in April and June.

There have also been repeated complaints about heat and hot water problems in March 2025, as well as various plumbing issues, including slow leaks (June 2025), toilet problems, and sink issues. Several apartments have documented maintenance issues, including water leaks (notably in Apartment 3E), door problems (both emergencies in March 2025), and various unsanitary conditions, particularly related to pest infestations. The building's inspection history shows multiple violations requiring attention, particularly in Apartments 1D, 1G, 3E, and 4C, though many of these violations were subsequently certified as corrected.

The property manager responded to multiple Housing Maintenance Code complaints between 2024-2025, addressing issues ranging from floor repairs to window maintenance. Notably, all bedbug reports filed between 2019 and 2024 have indicated zero affected units, suggesting effective pest management in this regard. The building also underwent inspection for locked/blocked egress and unpermitted work in March 2023, though no violations were documented at the time of inspection.
