1031 Montgomery Street, Brooklyn, NY 11213

1031 Montgomery Street is a 4-story, 8-unit residential building located in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, built in 1924 and currently owned by Barry Septimus. The building has experienced several significant events over the past years, most recently a heat and hot water emergency in May 2023 that was temporarily resolved according to tenant reports. The property has a notable history of bedbug reporting compliance, with no reported infestations in the past five years (2020-2025), including three consecutive years (2022-2023, 2023-2024, 2024-2025) with zero infested or eradicated units.

The building underwent significant changes in 2019, with a violation issued regarding an unauthorized alteration that involved converting two stories with 4 Class A units into 6 stories with 8 Class A units. The building has maintained a generally positive record in terms of basic habitability and safety inspections. It has successfully passed multiple rodent inspections between 2016 and 2025, with the most recent inspections in March 2024 and March 2025 passing successfully.

However, there was one failure noted during a September 2019 inspection. In terms of building maintenance and compliance, there have been multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations recorded in 2022 and 2023 regarding bedbug reporting requirements, though these violations were subsequently closed. A Department of Buildings inspection from 2020 recorded an inspector's inability to gain access for a building permit inspection. The property has consistently met permit requirements from 2018 onwards, with several permits issued for various work, including electrical, plumbing, and alteration work.
