1021 Montgomery Street, Brooklyn, NY 11213

1021 Montgomery Street is a two-story, four-unit New Law tenement building located in Crown Heights and owned by Claris Cunningham, who purchased it in 2019. Built in 1924, this property has experienced various maintenance issues over the years, with the most significant being a heating and hot water emergency affecting the entire building in March 2021, which resulted in violations from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

The building has consistently maintained compliance with regular rodent inspections, passing all ten inspections conducted between 2014 and 2025, including the most recent one in March 2025. While there have been multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements from 2021 through 2024, these appear to be administrative in nature rather than indications of an active infestation, as confirmed by the building's recent bedbug reports showing zero infested units for the 2023-2024 reporting period.

Additional reported issues include a smoking violation in 2021 and various maintenance concerns in apartment 1F, including inadequate heat and gas supply problems, though many of these violations were subsequently closed. The building's historical record shows a pattern of routine inspections and some maintenance issues, but recent filings indicate improved conditions, particularly regarding pest management compliance, as evidenced by multiple consecutive bedbug reports showing zero affected units from 2022 onwards. This property has maintained consistent rodent control compliance through regular inspections over the past decade, suggesting effective ongoing maintenance practices in that regard.
