1997 Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The three-story, three-unit building at 1997 Eastern Parkway in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Moishe Mintz and constructed in 2005, has experienced several notable maintenance and compliance issues over recent years. Most recently, between late 2022 and early 2023, the building faced multiple simultaneous complaints regarding various conditions including flooring issues, wall and ceiling maintenance, and mold problems - though inspections revealed no violations were warranted.

Prior to this, in 2021, there were concerns about garbage/recycling storage conditions that inspectors were unable to verify upon inspection, along with a water leak issue that was addressed. The building has maintained a relatively clean record regarding bedbugs in recent years, with reports from 2022 onwards showing no infested units, though there were two violations recorded in 2021 and 2022 related to annual reporting requirements that were subsequently closed. Looking at the building's longer history, there was significant rat activity documented in 2014, with multiple inspections showing compliance issues, though subsequent inspections up through 2020 showed improvement, with the most recent inspection in 2020 passing without issues.

The most recent Department of Buildings activity included an illegal conversion complaint in March 2025 that was ultimately closed due to access denial. The building's maintenance record over the past five years shows regular maintenance issues being reported and addressed, though with varying degrees of inspection access and verification. The property has consistently filed bedbug reports showing no active infestations since 2023, and while there were some sanitary condition complaints regarding garbage storage in 2021, these were resolved through standard complaint processes.
