1621 Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11233

1621 Eastern Parkway is a 4-story, 8-unit New Law Tenement building located in Crown Heights, built in 1929 and currently owned by Ryan Colbert. The property has experienced recurring issues with pests, moisture, and maintenance concerns over recent years. Most recently, in October 2024, there were complaints about plumbing (bathtub/shower) issues and pest problems, though HPD was unable to complete inspections for these complaints.

Between late 2023 and 2024, there were multiple complaints regarding building systems and conditions, including problems with the bell/intercom system, mailbox issues, and the presence of mold, with varying outcomes - some being inspected without violations, while others went unverified due to lack of access. Notably, the building has shown persistent pest control challenges, with violations related to mice infestation in Apartment 4B documented in 2022. The property has undergone several inspections and received various violations and maintenance requirements, including the need for proper waste receptacles (2024), annual bedbug reporting (2023), and various repairs in Apartment 4B including dealing with water leaks, window issues, and the need for repainting.

A rodent-related incident was recorded in the building's history from 2022, and while recent bedbug reports from 2023 and 2024 indicate no infestations, the building has exhibited general maintenance challenges including plumbing issues and unsanitary conditions. The building's most recent rodent inspection in July 2025 passed, although a rat activity issue was recorded in May 2025. The consistent pattern of maintenance requests and violations suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and sanitation, though many issues have been resolved through inspections and repairs over time.
