836 Montgomery Street, Brooklyn, NY 11213
The four-story, 47-unit tenement building at 836 Montgomery Street in Crown Heights, owned by Hersh Zarchi and constructed in 1925, has experienced recurring heating and electrical issues over the past few years. Most notably, there have been multiple documented incidents of heat and hot water disruptions affecting the entire building between late 2022 and 2024, with emergencies reported in November and December 2022, and several complaints in 2024.
The building has also faced electrical problems, with two complaints in 2024-2025 regarding outlet and switch issues, the most recent of which in January 2025 resulted in an inspector being unable to gain access for evaluation. The property has undergone various maintenance challenges, including a period of pest issues in Apartment A7 in early 2024, documented violations for rust on balconies requiring painting, and multiple complaints about the building's intercom system across different years. Two significant health and safety inspections were triggered by complaints in 2022-2024, including a chemical vapor investigation in February 2024 that resulted in an advisory to the owner.
Recent records show improved conditions, with rodent inspections between 2018 and 2025 consistently passing, and no bedbug infestations reported in the past seven years from 2018 to 2024. The most recent DOB violation regarding low pressure inspection filing was dismissed in October 2024, indicating compliance with regulatory requirements. The building's maintenance history shows a mix of resolved issues and ongoing challenges, particularly regarding heating and electrical systems, while basic safety requirements such as rodent control have been maintained successfully in recent years.
