1681 Carroll Street, Brooklyn, NY 11213
The 2-story, 4-unit tenement building at 1681 Carroll Street in Crown Heights, owned by Ruth Morrison, has shown a pattern of electrical and appliance-related issues in recent years. The most significant events occurred in March 2023, when three separate complaints were filed and subsequently closed by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). These included two incidents involving electric/gas range problems and a power outage, with violations issued during the investigations.
A detailed inspection on March 13, 2023, revealed several Class C violations specifically for Apartment 1, including inadequate gas supply to the kitchen range, defective self-closing entrance doors, and insufficient electrical service to wall and ceiling outlets. The building's violation history shows recurring bedbug reporting requirements, with violations noted in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 for failure to submit the annual bedbug report. However, recent bedbug filings from 2024-2025 and 2023-2024 indicate no infested units, suggesting successful management of this issue.
The property has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections, with successful results in 2018, 2019, 2022, and 2025. The most recent violation, issued in April 2024, remains open regarding the bedbug reporting requirement, though previous violations from 2023 were closed following verification of corrections. The combination of electrical issues, bedbug reporting violations, and appliance problems suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, though the recent passing rodent inspections indicate one area of consistent compliance with health and safety standards.
