1074 Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11213

The 4-story, 31-unit building at 1074 Eastern Parkway in Crown Heights, owned by Leah Merenstein, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant problems occurring between late 2024 and mid-2025. Open housing maintenance code violations were documented in December 2024, primarily affecting apartment 35, including issues with inadequate heat supply, missing carbon monoxide detectors, and defective vinyl floor tiles.

Apartment 6 also had violations related to door gaps, window guards, carbon monoxide detectors, and window repairs. During 2025, there were multiple 311 service requests, including emergency complaints regarding doors (May 2025), heavy water leaks (May 2025), and non-emergency issues with mailboxes and flooring. The building has passed recent rodent inspections (2022-2025) and experienced minimal bedbug activity, with only two documented cases in the past three years, both successfully eradicated.

The building's recent history shows ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly in late 2024 and early 2025, with multiple instances requiring HPD inspections and some resulting in violations. Historical records reveal past administrative issues, including two violations related to documentation requirements (failure to file 2022 external low pressure inspection in 2023, and failure to file energy use benchmarking report in 2019). While the building has maintained compliance with rodent control measures and successfully addressed bedbug infestations, the concentration of violations and service requests in recent months suggests persistent maintenance challenges requiring attention.
