869 Montgomery Street, Brooklyn, NY 11213

The two-story, four-unit residential building at 869 Montgomery Street in Crown Heights, owned by Seibert Mayers, has experienced several significant maintenance issues and potential code violations in recent years. Most notably, there are two active Environmental Control Board violations from February 2024, each with a $2,500 penalty, related to illegal occupancy and unauthorized construction work at the cellar level, suggesting the creation of an unauthorized Class "A" apartment.

The building has experienced recurring issues with water supply and heating systems, particularly in January 2024, when multiple complaints were filed regarding inadequate water supply and heat/hot water issues affecting both individual apartments (notably 1A and 2A) and the entire building. Additional complaints about missing signage in July 2024 indicate ongoing compliance issues. The property has a pattern of water-related problems, with multiple Housing Maintenance Code complaints regarding water supply systems in January 2024.

Inspection records show these issues attracted the attention of both the Department of Buildings and Housing Preservation and Development. While the building has maintained a generally acceptable rodent control record, passing inspections in recent years (including March 2025, March 2024, and September 2022), it faces other compliance challenges. The building is currently facing an open Class C violation regarding inadequate hot and cold water supply to Unit 2A as of January 2024, in addition to existing issues with an entrance door not self-closing and pending bedbug report filings from 2024.
