801 Crown Street, Brooklyn, NY 11213

The two-story, four-unit residential building at 801 Crown Street in Crown Heights, owned by Gloria Deshong, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years, most notably water-related problems in 2022. Four separate water leak complaints were filed in March and April 2022, with descriptors including "heavy flow," "slow leak," and "damp spot," some of which were classified as emergency situations.

Unfortunately, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to gain access to inspect these reported conditions. The building has also faced administrative compliance issues, with multiple Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) violations recorded between 2021 and 2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though no bedbug infestations were reported during the 2021-2022 filing period.

Despite these challenges, the building has maintained a clean record regarding pest control inspections, with all rodent inspections passing from 2014 through February 2025. The most recent rodent inspections, conducted in March 2024 and February 2025, as well as earlier inspections dating back to 2018, have consistently shown compliance with health standards. While the water issues of 2022 and bedbug reporting violations are noteworthy, the building's successful rodent control record and the absence of recent active violations suggest improvements may have been made in general maintenance practices.
