1870 Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The 41-unit, 4-story building at 1870 Eastern Parkway in Cypress Hills, owned by Harold Cooke, has experienced several significant maintenance issues since its construction in 2009. Most notably, there were multiple heat and hot water outages in 2022, with complaints documented on February 17 (entire building), February 24 (entire building), and October 9 (apartment only), though in all cases, tenants reported that the services were eventually restored. The building faced water-related challenges in late 2021, with inspections for slow leaks and flooring issues conducted but access was not granted for full evaluation.

Other notable issues include a rodent sighting in early 2021 that was investigated and passed by the Department of Health, various maintenance requests regarding walls, windows, and stairs, and safety concerns such as mold in apartment 301 and visible mold in apartment 404 (2019). More recent developments include four dismissed violations in 2023 related to failure to file external low pressure inspections for 2020-2021. However, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with no infestations reported in the most recent three filing periods (2021-2024).

The property has undergone several safety inspections, with completed corrections for violations concerning smoke and carbon monoxide detector requirements, electrical outlet safety, and window guard installations in 2022. Historical records show consistent passing results for rodent inspections in 2010, 2018, 2020, and 2021, indicating effective pest management. The building appears to have regular maintenance oversight, with most documented violations being addressed and closed, though the pattern of heat and water issues in 2022 suggests there may have been underlying system challenges during that period.
