1181 Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11213

As of July 2025, 1181 Eastern Parkway is a 4-story, 16-unit rent-regulated tenement built in 1912, currently managed by Clifton Emile. The building has experienced significant maintenance issues over the past year, with an alarming cluster of complaints in July 2024 focusing primarily on heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building, which were noted as emergency conditions.

Multiple violations remain open from this period, including issues with door/window functionality, pest infestations in multiple apartments (notably in units 10 and 11), and intercom system failures. The property has also faced structural concerns, with open ECB violations from 2023 involving a severely cracked retaining wall and multiple boiler-related issues, carrying penalties totaling over $16,000. Recent inspection records show ongoing pest management efforts throughout 2025, with repeated applications of bait between January and July 2025, including two compliance inspections that noted rat activity.

The building's maintenance history reveals recurring issues with building systems, as evidenced by numerous heat/hot water complaints in July 2024 and various atmospheric and structural concerns documented in 2023. Open Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2024 include defective self-closing doors and interior maintenance issues, while environmental violations from 2023 (still marked as active) address significant safety concerns such as gas tubing problems and other maintenance deficiencies with potentially serious implications. The pattern of complaints and violations suggests persistent challenges with building maintenance and systems management, particularly concerning heating infrastructure and pest control, though some issues have been documented as resolved through inspection verification.
