1497 Carroll Street, Brooklyn, NY 11213
The 6-story, 53-unit building at 1497 Carroll Street in Crown Heights, owned by Jacob Hager, has experienced significant maintenance challenges between 2022 and 2025. Most recently, in May 2025, there were multiple complaints about pests, window frame issues, and ceiling problems, with some violations documented by HPD. The building faced major infrastructure issues in June 2025, with multiple emergency calls regarding electric power outages and heat/hot water problems affecting the entire building.
Additional maintenance concerns have been documented through Housing Maintenance Code violations, including a 2024 mold issue in Apartment 66 and various problems in Apartment 32 related to pests, smoke detectors, and plumbing. The building's elevator system has been a recurring concern, with complaints about "No Alternate Service" in both 2019 and 2025. Recent bedbug reports indicate infestation in two units in 2024, though both were reportedly eradicated.
While rodent inspections conducted between 2019 and 2025 generally passed, there were periods of rat activity noted in late 2019. The property has maintained compliance generally with rodent inspections in recent years, passing inspections in 2024-2025, though there were some failures documented in 2018-2019. Historical violations show various maintenance issues being addressed, including bathroom repairs and electrical work, while the building's management has generally responded to HPD violations within the required timelines. The building's age (1925) and history of recurring maintenance issues suggest ongoing challenges with maintaining compliance with modern housing standards, though recent inspection results show some improvements in rodent control and other maintenance areas.
