954 Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11213

954 Eastern Parkway is a 4-story, 9-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1912, currently owned by Linus Joseph. The property has experienced persistent heating and hot water system issues, with multiple complaints filed in 2024-2025, including a pattern of emergency heat/hot water complaints documented between June 2024 and February 2025. These complaints often resulted in HPD inspections where access was denied or heat was reported restored during inspections.

The building has documented rodent activity, with recent inspections in January and February 2025 confirming rat presence, following a pattern of such findings since late 2022. In mid-2024, several housing maintenance code violations were identified, including issues with self-closing doors, door clearances, and hot water provision at building entrances. Apartment 10 was specifically noted for mold and pest infestation problems, while Apartment 4 had documented pest issues that were later resolved.

The building's management has been required to address various safety concerns, including fire escape access and water systems, as evidenced by violations issued in 2024. Most recently, in February 2025, a partial stop work order was issued regarding construction activities, with a violation currently listed as active. Despite these issues, the building has maintained a consistent record of zero reported bedbug infestations in recent years, with regular reporting showing eradication efforts documented from 2019 through 2024.
