1776 Union Street is a 6-story, 66-unit apartment building in Crown Heights, constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Dansford Anglin. The property has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water service in 2025, with multiple emergency complaints in April and June, though inspections often found service restored. The building has had persistent plumbing issues, particularly in 2025, with violations issued for problems with basins, sinks, bathtubs, showers, and toilets. Multiple apartments have documented maintenance issues, notably apartment 4E, which has open violations as of 2024 concerning water leaks, electrical wiring problems, and various repair needs.

Elevator service has been an ongoing concern, with multiple complaints between 2019 and 2023 regarding single device operation and no alternate service, though inspections typically found no violations or resulted in resolved issues. The building has demonstrated some pest management challenges, with documented rodent activity in inspections between 2019 and 2025, though recent inspections show improvement with proper bait application and passing results. While there have been several housing maintenance code violations issued in 2024-2025, records indicate that many have been resolved or certified as corrected, including issues with plaster surfaces, water leaks, and various electrical concerns. The building's elevator system has required attention, with several Environmental Control Board violations related to safety devices and maintenance requirements between 2018 and 2021, though these were generally resolved with penalties covered.

Building systems and services have shown inconsistency, particularly regarding heat and hot water provision in recent months, and plumbing infrastructure appears to be in need of ongoing maintenance. The property has maintained a relatively clean record for bedbugs in recent years, with no reported infestations since 2020 except for one isolated incident in 2020. Recent rodent inspections show variability in results, suggesting ongoing attention to pest management is required. The building has complied with bedbug reporting requirements, consistently reporting no infestations or showing prompt eradication of identified units when necessary.
