1651 Carroll Street, Brooklyn, NY 11213

The 4-story, 38-unit building at 1651 Carroll Street, built in 1922 and currently owned by Uriah James, has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues over the past 18 months. Most concerning are the recurring heat, hot water, and plumbing problems, with multiple complaints about water supply issues, bathroom facilities, and heating systems documented in 2025.

The building has also faced significant pest control challenges, with multiple violations issued for rodent and insect infestations in apartments B2, D2, and D3 as recently as late 2024, and more recent rodent inspections in 2025 showing failed results. Health and safety concerns have included problems with building systems like heating and hot water, as well as the discovery of unsanitary conditions in multiple apartments. The property has a documented history of violations regarding safety equipment, including missing smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors in Apartment D2.

Major construction work in 2024 generated multiple Department of Building violations related to sidewalk shed placement and safety compliance, though these were later dismissed as remedied. The building has maintained a regular pattern of 311 complaints, particularly concerning building systems and water issues, with the most recent service requests in 2025 involving both heat and water supply problems. While there have been no documented bedbug infestations in the last two years, the property has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges that suggest persistent infrastructure issues.
