1052 Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11213

The 31-unit, 4-story residential building at 1052 Eastern Parkway in Crown Heights, owned by the Estate of Anth London, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in May 2025, the building faced multiple urgent problems including mold, water leaks (heavy flow), and sewage-related unsanitary conditions, all of which resulted in HPD violations requiring correction. Earlier in 2025, the building had several plumbing-related issues involving toilets, bathtubs/showers, sinks/basins, and windows/doors, with some violations issued that required remediation.

A series of violations from October 2024 primarily affected Apartment B1, including multiple issues with water leaks, broken plastered surfaces, and certain emergency violations relating to the kitchen window leading to the fire escape. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of water-related issues, with leaks documented in multiple inspections (most recently in January 2025 and October 2024), as well as plumbing problems affecting various fixtures. The property has also experienced bedbug infestations, with reports filed in 2021-2023 showing one unit affected and subsequent eradications, though an open violation related to bedbug reporting remains as of April 2024.

While rodent inspections have generally passed in recent years (most recently in February 2025), there were instances of rat activity noted in 2014 and 2017, though these appear to have been resolved. The building, constructed in 1922, is categorized as a "NEW LAW TENEMENT" and has undergone various inspections and maintenance activities over the years. Most recent violations require the owner to address mold, water leaks, and sanitation issues, which may significantly impact resident comfort and safety. The presence of both plumbing-related violations and water intrusion issues suggests persistent infrastructure challenges, while the documented bedbug history indicates periodic pest management concerns, though recent extermination efforts have shown effectiveness in addressing these problems.
