1616 President Street, Brooklyn, NY 11213
1616 President Street is a 4-story, 24-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1921, currently owned by Robert Raphael and located in Crown Heights. The property has experienced recurring heating issues in 2025, with multiple complaints about heat and hot water failures affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, most recently in June 2025. Other notable maintenance concerns in 2025 include water-related issues with leaks (both slow and heavy flow) in March, as well as problems with doors/windows and paint/plaster conditions.
The building has documented violations from a December 2024 inspection of apartment A6, specifically regarding water leaks and damage to plaster surfaces in both the kitchen and bathroom, though these violations were certified as corrected by January 2025. Looking at the building's history, there were several significant issues in 2022-2024, including a rodent infestation identified in apartment B2 in November 2024, and multiple complaints about work being done without proper permits in April 2022. The building's boiler system also faced scrutiny, with a defective/inoperative complaint in August 2022 leading to an ECB violation.
The property has generally passed regular rodent inspections conducted between 2018 and 2025, suggesting ongoing pest management is being maintained. The bedbug report filings show varying levels of infestations, with two units affected in 2022-2023 and none reported in recent years (2023-2024), indicating potential past issues but recent improvement. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic systems like heating and plumbing, requiring frequent resident complaints and regulatory intervention.
