1851 Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The three-story, two-family house at 1851 Eastern Parkway in Crown Heights, built in 1898 and currently owned by 1851 Eastern Parkway LLC, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there are currently open violations from March 2020 concerning water leaks and defective plaster/paint conditions in the kitchen and bathroom ceilings of the third-floor apartment.

These issues include problems with both the kitchen and bathroom ceilings in Apartment 3, including water leaks from the roof and defects in the plastered surfaces. The building also faced some concerning structural issues in late 2022, when an Environmental Control Board violation was issued regarding hazardous wall conditions with severe cracks and bulging, resulting in a $2,500 penalty. The building's maintenance record shows a pattern of various health and safety concerns, including multiple 311 complaints between 2019-2021 related to unsanitary conditions, food safety violations, and equipment issues.

In early 2019, there were complaints about carbon monoxide detector concerns, cooking gas issues, and refrigerator problems, though no violations were ultimately issued following HPD inspections. A cluster of maintenance issues arose in March 2020, including emergency complaints about mold, ceiling damage, and bathtub/shower problems, which were subsequently addressed. While the building has maintained a clean record for bedbugs and rodents in recent years, with no reported infestations since 2022 and a passed rodent inspection in 2018, the outstanding violations and historical pattern of maintenance issues suggest ongoing challenges with building upkeep and resident comfort.
