1491 Carroll Street, Brooklyn, NY 11213

1491 Carroll Street is a 2-story, 4-unit New Law Tenement building located in Crown Heights, owned by Claudette Newman and constructed in 1923. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, with the most recent cluster of complaints in May 2024 involving flooring, plumbing, wall and ceiling issues, and an unsanitary pest condition.

Notably, there are two open violations from 2023 and 2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, indicating potential pest management compliance issues. The building has demonstrated intermittent rodent control challenges, with inspections showing both failed results in 2018 and 2022, though more recent inspections in 2023-2025 have passed. Historically, the building has faced several maintenance concerns, particularly notable in July 2022 when multiple violations were documented in Apartment 2R, including plumbing issues, pest infestations, and safety concerns related to missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

There were also violations requiring bathroom ceiling and wall repairs, and the need to post gas leak emergency procedures, though these were later certified as corrected. Earlier issues include a broken window guard in 2019, which was also addressed. While many recent complaints were inspected by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development and found to have no violations issued, the frequency of maintenance requests and existing open violations suggest ongoing maintenance challenges within the building.
