1193 Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11213

1193 Eastern Parkway is a four-story, 16-unit residential building built in 1912, currently owned by Brian Teppel and classified as a New Law Tenement. The property has experienced a range of maintenance and safety issues in recent years, with the most significant recent incidents occurring between January and February 2025, including multiple complaints and violations related to electrical systems, heating, pest infestations, and building maintenance.

Both Apartment 1A and Apartment 4B have documented history of pest infestations (including mice, bedbugs, and roaches) and various maintenance issues such as light fixture problems and water damage. The building has faced structural concerns as evidenced by complaints in June 2023 regarding building shaking, vibration, and stability, along with an ECB violation for partially detached masonry portico with potential collapse risk. Previous violations dating back to 2021 involved issues with building safety, including the maintenance of walls and appurtenances, while multiple electrical and plumbing problems have been documented.

The property has a recurring pattern of pest-related issues, with bedbug and rodent activity reported in recent years. Despite these challenges, inspections by HPD have often resulted in findings that did not violate housing laws, though several violations have been issued requiring correction. The building's maintenance history shows some attempts at remediation, including the issuance of multiple permits for various types of work between 2019 and 2020, though the persistence of maintenance issues suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep and resident comfort.
