947 Montgomery Street, Brooklyn, NY 11213
947 Montgomery Street is a 6-story, 94-unit residential building located in Crown Heights, built in 1928 and currently owned by Naftali Hager. The building has experienced numerous maintenance and habitability issues over the past several years, with significant recent problems emerging in 2025 including multiple complaints about paint/plaster issues in ceilings, walls, and floors (April 2025), and past heating system failures affecting both individual apartments and the entire building during winter 2024-2025.
The property has documented challenges with pest control, including a December 2024 inspection revealing both mold and pest issues (specifically rodents and cockroaches) in apartment 15C, along with plumbing problems evidenced by a water leak complaint from December 2024. Looking back through the building's history, there have been recurring concerns with heating systems, water pressure, and various environmental conditions. The building's elevator system required attention in 2021, and structural concerns regarding exterior walls were documented, including a visible crack along a window lintel.
Recent inspections show some improvements in pest management, with the most recent rodent inspection in March 2025 passing, following a period of rat activity noted in 2024. The property has also maintained an active response to bedbug infestations, with documented eradication efforts between 2020 and 2024, though showing a pattern of recurring issues with multiple units affected. The building's maintenance record shows a combination of resolved violations and ongoing maintenance needs, with recent work addressing various paint and plaster conditions as well as heating system problems, though some inspections have been noted as incomplete due to access issues.
