1562 St Marks Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11233

1562 St Marks Avenue is a three-story, three-unit residential building located in Crown Heights, built in 1899 and currently owned by Aradhana Sarin. The property has experienced several maintenance issues over the past seven years, with significant complaints emerging in December 2018 regarding water leaks, pest infestations, and wall maintenance problems.

These complaints were classified as non-emergency violations by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify conditions. More recently, in 2022, the building received a Class A housing maintenance code violation related to the failure to file an annual bedbug report, though this violation appears to have been resolved, as subsequent bedbug reports from 2021 through 2024 show no evidence of infestations. The building has maintained an active bedbug monitoring and reporting record since 2020, consistently documenting zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested dwelling units.

Historical records also indicate past rodent issues, with inspections in 2011 and 2012 resulting in failed compliance checks, though more recent inspections have not shown this problem. The property has undergone some permitted work, with plumbing-related permits issued in both 2018 and 2021. While the building has experienced various maintenance challenges over the years, recent records show an improvement in pest management, with no reported infestations in the last several years, and no new complaints filed since 2018, suggesting improved building conditions.
