Augrented Insights Report for 836 Crown Street

836 Crown Street is a 6-story, 58-unit New Law tenement building in Crown Heights, constructed in 1929 and currently owned by Charles Neiss. The building has experienced persistent maintenance issues in recent months, with multiple Housing Maintenance Code Complaints filed in June 2025 for plumbing (bathtub/shower, toilet), electrical appliances (gas range), and pest-related issues (unsanitary conditions).

Serious concerns about the building's condition are currently reflected in several open violations from 2024-2025, including problems in apartment B9 related to plumbing fixtures, wall and ceiling plaster, and a documented pest infestation that appears to be ongoing based on Housing Maintenance Code Violations from 2024-2025. The building has a history of elevator service issues documented between 2021-2022, with multiple complaints about single device operation and no alternate service, though inspections generally found no violations.

An Environmental Control Board violation from August 2021 resulted in a $625 penalty related to several elevator maintenance requirements. While recent bedbug reports show no infestations from 2019-2024, the property has had repeated rat activity as evidenced by multiple rodent inspections between 2021-2025, though it passed the most recent inspection in March 2025. The building's maintenance history shows ongoing challenges with basic services and infrastructure, as evidenced by multiple service requests and violations related to plumbing, electrical systems, and general building upkeep.
