1371 Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The 24-unit, 4-story building at 1371 Eastern Parkway in Crown Heights, owned by Marc Goldstein, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past two years, with the most recent concerns emerging in early 2025. Notable recent problems include mold (February 2025), electrical outlet issues (February 2025), and sporadic heat/hot water problems, with reports in January 2025 and earlier in February 2023 indicating temporary heat restoration was confirmed by tenants during inspections. The building has also faced multiple non-emergency and emergency situations requiring attention, including refrigerator problems, flooring concerns, and various plumbing issues.

A significant cluster of violations was documented in September 2024 specifically in Apartment 2B, including defective smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, electrical outlets, and a cockroach infestation. Previous issues in Apartment 1A (documented in June 2023) included similar concerns with smoke detectors, water leaks, and appliance problems. While the building has maintained consistent records of bedbug-free status since 2019 (with the last reported infestation of 2 units in 2018-2019), it has experienced periodic plumbing, electrical, and sanitary issues requiring HPD intervention.

The property boasts a relatively clean record in recent years regarding rodent inspections, having passed inspections in 2018 and 2017. The building's violation history shows a pattern of recurring issues, particularly related to basic utilities and appliances. While many violations have been closed following repairs or corrections, including those from 2023-2024 that were certified as addressed by October 2024, the persistence of certain problems suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has generally complied with housing maintenance code requirements for carbon monoxide and smoke detector maintenance, as evidenced by the prompt certification of repairs in response to violations.
