1489 Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11233
The 8-unit building at 1489 Eastern Parkway in Crown Heights, owned by Jack Garber, has experienced numerous maintenance issues over the past several years, with the most significant problems occurring recently between late 2024 and 2025. During this period, there were multiple complaints regarding heating and hot water issues, with seven separate complaints filed between December 2024 and March 2025, some involving both entire building and individual apartment problems. More recent complaints in 2025 involved unsanitary conditions including mold and pest issues, though the HPD was unable to gain access to inspect these complaints.
The building has ongoing violations requiring attention, including an open August 2024 violation regarding water leaks at the ceiling and north wall, as well as two November 2023 violations in apartment 4R related to safety equipment - missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors - and excessively hot water above 130 degrees Fahrenheit. The building's history shows a pattern of maintenance challenges, particularly regarding heating systems and water supply. In addition to the recent complaints, previous years have seen various issues including plumbing problems (with a November 2024 toilet complaint), and the building failed multiple rodent inspections in 2010, though more recent inspections in 2013 and 2017 passed.
The property has consistently reported zero bedbug infestations since 2019, with annual filings showing no affected units. A 2020 complaint regarding plumbing work permit violations was closed due to inspector access issues. The building's violation history shows a mix of resolved and still-open issues, with the owner receiving violations throughout 2022-2024 for various maintenance shortfalls, particularly affecting apartment 4R.
