1205 Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11213

The 4-story, 17-unit tenement building at 1205 Eastern Parkway in Crown Heights, currently owned by 1193 Eastern Parkway Holdings LLC, has experienced persistent maintenance and quality of life issues, particularly in 2024 and early 2025. Most recently, from March 2025, there have been multiple complaints resulting in HPD violations related to plumbing issues (toilet and bathtub), flooring problems, mold, ceiling damage, and pest infestations.

Of particular concern is the building's ongoing plumbing infrastructure challenges, evidenced by violations including a leaky bathtub (Apt 14A), problematic toilet connections, and multiple pest-related complaints, with inspection reports confirming the presence of cockroach infestations. The building's condition has drawn attention from multiple agencies, with active ECB violations from October 2024 related to building exterior disrepair, including issues with the cornice and parapet wall that carry significant penalties ($31,250 total). Historical data shows recurring rodent activity, with multiple inspections between 2022 and 2024 confirming rat presence and the application of bait.

The property has also faced fire safety concerns, with violations in mid-2024 regarding obstructions and defects in the fire escape system. While there have been no bedbug infestations reported in recent filings, the overall pattern of maintenance violations, particularly regarding basic services like heat and plumbing, suggests ongoing challenges with building management and upkeep. The building's regulatory history spans several years, with various maintenance code violations remaining open as of 2024-2025, including problems with plumbing fixtures, bathroom fixtures, and ceiling conditions in multiple units.
