1699 Carroll Street, Brooklyn, NY 11213

The 4-unit, 2-story New Law Tenement at 1699 Carroll Street in Crown Heights, built in 1923 and currently owned by Carl Norman, has experienced several maintenance issues over recent years, particularly in 2022 when multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations and service requests were recorded. Most notably, in April 2022, violations were issued related to a water leak (damp spot), flooring issues, wall paint/plaster problems, and cabinet maintenance.

These violations were subsequently addressed, though some were categorized as "Open" during inspections in 2024-2025. In particular, there are current open violations from 2022 related to the first-floor apartment (1F) concerning lead paint hazards, broken plaster surfaces requiring repair and repainting, and defective ceramic floor tiles in the foyer. The building has maintained regular rodent inspections since 2014, with all recent inspections from 2016 through 2025 passing, including the most recent inspection in February 2025.

There are also two open bedbug report violations from March and April 2023-2024 that require the filing of annual bedbug reports as per HPD regulations. Previous infestations were documented in April 2022, when violations were issued for mouse and roach infestations in apartment 1F, though these were subsequently closed following remediation in late April 2022. The building's record shows a pattern of maintenance issues in 2022, particularly affecting apartment 1F, including problems with doors, flooring, walls, and various surfaces, though many of these issues were addressed through the issuance and subsequent resolution of violations.
