The 16-unit residential building at 1159 Eastern Parkway in Crown Heights, owned by Abe Grenbaum, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past year. Most notably, there were emergency heat and hot water system failures across the entire building reported and resolved in December 2024, along with multiple complaints regarding unsanitary conditions and mold during the same period. Between September and October 2024, the building faced several violations requiring attention, including water leaks with heavy flow conditions, ceiling plaster issues, and concerns about the building's intercom system. Inspections conducted in October 2024 revealed multiple housing code violations, including a leaky roof at the bulkhead, damaged brick facade on the 4th story, and various repair needs in specific apartments (notably in Apartments 1 and 6) regarding water damage, plaster surfaces, and kitchen cabinet conditions.
The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of access issues during inspections, as evidenced by multiple complaints in late 2024 (October and December) where inspectors were unable to gain access to units for evaluation. While the building is a New Law Tenement constructed in 1915, there have been no recorded bedbug infestations or rodent problems since 2017-2018. The most recent housing maintenance code violations from October 2024 remain open, including requirements for roof repairs, facade work, and various interior maintenance tasks. The building's 311 service requests and housing maintenance code complaints indicate ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding water-related issues and general upkeep of common systems like the intercom.
