1521 Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11233

1521 Eastern Parkway is a four-story, 20-unit New Law tenement building located in Crown Heights, built in 1910 and currently owned by Christopher Bramwell. The building has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past three years, with the most recent concerns in 2025 involving malfunctioning refrigerator and electric/gas range appliances, both of which were inspected by HPD and found not to violate housing laws. In early 2025, there was also a heat/hot water complaint that HPD could not investigate due to access issues.

More significant problems emerged in 2024, including multiple pest infestations and unsanitary conditions. Notable violations were recorded in October 2024 in Apartment 1C, including issues with roaches, water leaks, mold, and ceiling damage, though these violations were certified as corrected by late 2024. The building's historical records show consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2019 through 2025, with no reported infestations. While there have been multiple pest-related complaints, the building passed rodent inspections in 2016-2017 and maintained regular bedbug report filings, suggesting active management of these issues.

The property has an active record of maintenance requests and violations that indicate ongoing challenges with building maintenance and resident comfort. The most significant cluster of issues appears to have occurred in 2024, with multiple instances of unsanitary conditions and maintenance violations, particularly affecting Apartment 1C. Recent 2025 complaints, while properly addressed by HPD, indicate continuing maintenance needs within the building. The building's permit history shows at least one work permit issued in 2019, though the specific nature of the work is not detailed in the provided data.
