1894 Broadway, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The three-story, two-family house at 1894 Broadway in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Henry Walter and constructed in 1925, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past few years. Most notably, there are currently three open violations from August-September 2023 that require attention: broken or defective glass at the building entrance door in the lobby, a lack of proper gas leak procedures posted in the public hallway, and broken plaster/paint issues in the second story public hall.

The building has also faced multiple emergency complaints in 2023-2024 related to heat/hot water issues, safety concerns regarding smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, plumbing problems, and water leaks, though inspections generally found no violations. Previous records from 2022-2023 indicate recurring problems with mold, pests, and various maintenance issues in apartment 1F, including water leaks and plaster damage. The building's maintenance history shows some concerning patterns, with multiple emergency complaints in late 2023 and a significant number of inspections in a short period.

While recent 311 service requests and housing maintenance code complaints have been resolved without violations being issued, the number and nature of these complaints suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has a relatively clean record regarding bedbugs and rodents, with no reported infestations in the past filing period (2022-2023) and passed inspections for rodent presence in 2017-2020. Though many complaints have been addressed, the presence of open violations as of 2025 and the volume of maintenance issues reported, particularly in 2022-2023, warrant attention to the building's overall upkeep and safety measures.
