1574 St Marks Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The three-unit, three-story building at 1574 St. Marks Avenue in Crown Heights, owned by Mark Parris and constructed in 1899, has experienced several noteworthy maintenance and compliance events in recent years.

Most significantly, there were multiple bedbug-related violations between 2021 and 2024, though recent filings show no infested units during the 2022-2023 period. The building has an ongoing rodent issue reported in March 2021 (still in progress as of last available data), and in 2019-2020, there were closed complaints regarding an electric/gas range and wall conditions where HPD could not gain access for inspection. The property experienced one public health concern involving standing water in July 2021, which was investigated by DOHMH with no violations found.

In terms of building code compliance, the property had a significant violation in 2020 regarding an unauthorized curb modification to facilitate vehicle access, which was resolved, and no penalties were imposed. The building's habitability and maintenance record is somewhat mixed, with recurring registration requirements and violations related to bedbug reporting (for which records show compliance through 2024), though no actual infestations have been reported. While some concerns have been addressed or resolved over time, such as the standing water issue and the curb cut violation, the ongoing rodent problem from 2021 and prior inspection difficulties remain notable points in the building's record.
