1370 Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The 34-unit, 4-story building at 1370 Eastern Parkway in Brownsville, owned by Hershy Beigel and constructed in 1923, is currently experiencing several maintenance issues as of mid-2025. Recent complaints from May 2025 have documented significant problems including water leaks (with HPD issuing violations for heavy flow), mold, and multiple unresolved issues relating to plumbing, flooring, electrical systems, and pest control, though some complaints from March 2025 were found to not violate housing laws. The building has active violations regarding failure to display energy efficiency scores as required by NYC code, dating from both 2023 and 2024.

The property has a concerning history of maintenance issues, particularly in late 2024 when multiple violations were documented in apartments 4C and 4D. These included pest infestations (both roaches and mice), peeling paint, and problems with floors and walls. Earlier violations from 2024-2025 noted problems with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and building systems.

The Department of Buildings has recorded various inspections and complaints, including a boiler issue in late 2023 where inspectors were unable to gain access, and an elevator service complaint in 2021 that was found not to warrant violations. While the building has shown good compliance with bedbug inspections in recent years (reporting no infestations since 2021), two reports from 2019 and 2020 documented infestations that were subsequently eradicated. The rodent inspection record shows mixed results, with a failed initial inspection in 2017 followed by a passing compliance inspection later that year.
