Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11233

This 21-unit, 7-story Class A building at Eastern Parkway in Brownsville, owned by Yidel Kohn and completed in 2019, has experienced a series of maintenance issues in recent years that warrant attention. Most notably, in 2025 alone, there were multiple reports of problems with doors/windows, plumbing (radiator), paint/plaster (walls), and electrical systems (lighting), with several of these complaints resulting in HPD inspectors being unable to gain access for inspection.

There is also a concerning pattern of refrigerator-related complaints, with three separate reports between February and April 2025, and a significant heat/hot water issue affecting the entire building reported in December 2024. The building has a history of water-related problems, including a heavy flow water leak in June 2024 that resulted in violations being issued, and rodent issues were documented in apartment 1C in June 2024, along with an open violation for roaches in apartment 3C as of June 2024. During the construction period from 2019-2021, the building experienced several construction-related regulatory issues, with multiple violations recorded in April 2021 related to safety measures, inspection documentation, and construction supervision, resulting in penalties totaling $7,500.

The Department of Building's inspection records from 2021-2025 show several "No Violation Warranted" findings, though there were some instances of stop work orders that were subsequently rescinded. Notably, the building has maintained a clean record with respect to bedbug infestations, with all recent annual filings showing zero infested units since 2020. While the building has generally met permit requirements, with multiple permits issued during construction and subsequent inspections showing various completion stages, the recent pattern of maintenance issues suggests ongoing challenges with building systems that require monitoring.
