1315 Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The 43-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building at 1315 Eastern Parkway in Crown Heights, owned by Mike Rosen and built in 1924, has experienced several recurrent maintenance issues over the past two years. Most notably, in 2025, there were multiple heat and hot water-related complaints, some requiring HPD inspection and resulting in violations. Window frame issues were reported in both February 2025 and earlier in 2024, with HPD unable to gain access for inspection in some cases.

The building has also faced various appliance-related problems, including issues with refrigerators and electric/gas ranges, though many of these complaints were closed without proper access being granted for inspection. The property has documented problems with both its interior and exterior maintenance, including ongoing issues with water leaks and plaster damage as noted in HPD violations. As of July 2024, there are open violations specific to Apartment 1C regarding water leakage and plaster repair needs. The building's public areas have required attention to address water leaks and plaster damage in hallways, particularly in 2023-2024, with multiple violations regarding fire-resistant material repairs.

Interestingly, while the building has faced multiple maintenance issues over the years, it has maintained a clean record for bedbugs since 2019, and though there were rodent inspection failures noted in 2011-2018, these appear to have been resolved with subsequent passes. Recent service requests indicate ongoing concerns about resident comfort and building maintenance, including a 2025 smoking/vaping complaint in a smoke-free area, though this was addressed by the NYC Health Department. The building is also currently cited for not displaying its energy efficiency score as required since December 2021. While many past complaints have been closed, some recurring issues, particularly related to heat, water, and window maintenance, suggest ongoing challenges with building systems and maintenance response times.
