799 Crown Street, Brooklyn, NY 11213

The two-story, four-unit tenement building at 799 Crown Street in Crown Heights, owned by 799 Crown LLC and constructed in 1924, is currently experiencing multiple concerning issues that may affect resident quality of life. As of April 2025, there are reopened complaints about electrical systems (power outages), unsanitary conditions (including mold and pests), wall maintenance, and water leaks that HPD was unable to inspect. The property has also experienced repeated problems over the past year, including heating and hot water issues (notably affecting apartment 2R), water leaks in apartment 2F, and electrical problems including power outages.

Significant violations remain open from 2023-2024, particularly concerning lead paint hazards, repair needs for roof leaks, and plumbing issues. The building has a history of maintenance challenges, including three failed inspections for rodent control from 2018-2019, though recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 passed. Multiple complaints about illegal conversions and construction issues have been made between 2022-2023, with inspectors frequently unable to gain access to the property for verification.

Electrical system problems have persisted as an emergency concern, with multiple power outage complaints in 2024-2025. Recent violation notices include requirements to address lead paint hazards, repair plaster surfaces, and maintain functional self-closing doors. While the building has passed recent rodent inspections, the recurring nature of heating, water, electrical, and structural issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges that require attention.
