982 Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11213

At 982 Eastern Parkway in Crown Heights, a 4-story, 23-unit New Law Tenement built in 1922, the building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past several years, with the most recent complaints occurring in December 2024 and February 2025, affecting the entire building. These outages were temporarily resolved upon HPD's follow-up inspections, though concerns about reliable heat and hot water persist.

More recently, in March and June 2025, the building experienced maintenance issues including water leaks and rodent activity, with rodent control measures being applied. Notably, apartment 3A has multiple open violations from November 2023 related to pest infestations (mice and roaches), various surface repairs, including issues with plastered walls and floor defects, and problems with peeling paint in multiple rooms including the kitchen and bathroom. The building has a documented history of compliance inspections showing fluctuating conditions, with rat activity recorded in early 2025 and previous failures noted in 2019.

While there were no bedbug infestations reported in recent years (with the last documented filing in 2024 showing no affected units), the property has two active Department of Buildings violations from 2023 related to failure to file annual boiler inspections. Significant historical context includes a 2009 fire incident that resulted in a vacate order for units A1 and B6 due to structural damage, though records indicate the violation was resolved. Despite the persistent maintenance issues, including heat outages and pest control challenges, the building has generally responded to complaints in accordance with HPD protocols, though access for inspections has occasionally been limited.
