1291 Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11233

1291 Eastern Parkway is a 27-unit, 4-story New Law tenement building constructed in 1923 and currently owned by Joseph Levin. In recent months (2024-2025), the building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, with multiple complaints filed through 311 and HPD. The building has a significant history of maintenance violations, particularly regarding pest infestations and sanitary conditions.

Notable violations include an open Class C violation for mouse and roach infestations in Apartment 1A as of November 2024, and similar issues documented in Apartments 8B and 5D during late 2024. There are also documented violations related to mold and window repair issues in Apartment 1A. The building's recent history shows a pattern of systemic maintenance challenges, particularly during the winter months, with multiple emergency heat/hot water complaints being filed and some resulting in violations being issued.

Historical records indicate the building went through a serious incident in 2018 involving fire damage that affected the commercial space and residential units, leading to temporary vacate orders and subsequent repairs under various permits. While the building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no infestations reported since 2019, the ongoing issues with heat, hot water, and rodent infestations suggest persistent maintenance challenges. The property has undergone various repairs and maintenance work as evidenced by multiple permits issued between 2018-2019, though some historical violations related to work without permits and occupancy issues were documented, particularly during 2018-2019.
