1045 Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11213

The four-story, six-unit tenement building at 1045 Eastern Parkway in Crown Heights, built in 1930 and currently owned by Margaret Lee, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been multiple instances of heat and hot water outages affecting the entire building, with significant complaints logged in January 2022, November 2022, and December 2024, though in several cases heat and hot water were reported as having been restored by the time of inspection.

More recently, in early 2025, there have been rodent-related complaints, including sightings and conditions attracting rodents, though a subsequent April 2025 compliance inspection passed. The building currently has multiple active violations regarding the failure to file external low pressure inspections for various years between 2018 and 2020, as well as for 2022, and there remains an open violation from November 2022 related to required rust removal and painting of the building's front balcony and fire escape. On a positive note, recent bedbug reports for the periods ending October 2024, October 2023, and October 2022 show no confirmed infestations or eradication efforts required, indicating successful management of this potential issue.

The building underwent a rat activity inspection in 2025 that provided negative results, though earlier inspections had shown rat activity. There have also been consistent efforts to maintain compliance with Housing Maintenance Code requirements, with annual bedbug reports filed as required. The property has a documented history of addressing maintenance issues as they arise, with most complaints being resolved through inspections and corrections, though some systemic issues such as heating problems seem to recur periodically.
