1459 St Marks Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The 4-story, 7-unit building at 1459 St. Marks Avenue in Crown Heights, owned by Christopher Bramwell, was constructed in 2015 and has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in June 2025, multiple emergency complaints were filed and investigated by HPD, including problems with an electric/gas range, door issues, and both carbon monoxide and smoke detector concerns.

These inspections resulted in violations being issued, though the detectors were ultimately found to be in compliance with housing laws. The building has also experienced recurring door-related problems, with multiple violations recorded between February and March 2025, and patterns of tenant issues with electrical systems and plumbing fixtures. The property has a documented history of various maintenance violations that have required attention over the years.

Apartment 2B experienced hot water issues and leaky faucets in 2022-2024, while apartment 3A had problems with bathroom fixtures and interior painting requirements in 2023. Earlier violations included mold remediation in 2022 and multiple issues with public hallway maintenance between 2021-2022. Though the building has maintained a clean record for bedbug infestations since 2019, the rodent inspection results have been mixed, with the most recent inspection in 2023 passing, but earlier inspections in 2009 and 2010 showing failures for "Other Reasons." The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing attention to both individual unit and common area issues, with most problems being addressed and closed through appropriate corrective actions, though some violations have occurred repeatedly over time.
