1503 Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building at 1503 Eastern Parkway in Crown Heights, currently owned by Parkway Brothers LLC and constructed in 1910, has experienced several concerning building system issues in recent months. Most notably, in March 2025, there were multiple instances of power outages, including two emergency responses on March 24 and 27, with one complaint remaining open as of late March. The building has also faced persistent heat and hot water problems, with three separate complaints in February and March 2025, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building.

These complaints resulted in HPD inspections, some of which uncovered violations requiring correction by the property owner. Additional service requests during this period included issues with cooking gas and an electric/gas range, though one of these was determined not to violate housing laws. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of infrastructure challenges, particularly during 2025, when multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding basic services.

However, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past six years (2019-2024), and rodent inspections have generally shown compliance, with most recent inspections (2020 and 2021) passing without issues. A Department of Buildings complaint from February 2020 regarding unauthorized plumbing work was documented, though access could not be gained for inspection despite multiple attempts. The building's age is reflected in these ongoing maintenance challenges, with particularly notable issues regarding heating and electrical systems in recent months.
