889 Park Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206
The five-story building at 889 Park Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Arik Lifshitz, is a 34-unit commercial altered class A property built in 1920. The building has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant concerns emerging in late 2023.
During October 2023, multiple complaints were filed and subsequently investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), including issues with heat/hot water, water leaks, ventilation systems, and wall paint/plaster conditions, though no violations were ultimately issued. A specific ongoing concern involves hot water temperature issues in Apartment C4, where a Class C violation was issued in October 2023 for exceeding 130 degrees at all hot water fixtures. The building has a documented history of infrastructure and habitability challenges, including an infestation of roaches in Apartment 2D (July 2023) and multiple water supply and leak issues throughout 2022-2023.
Security and safety concerns have also been identified, such as problems with the fire escape system (April 2023) and multiple elevator-related complaints between 2018-2022. Compliance inspections for rodent activity show a mixed record in recent years, with reports of rat activity in late 2022 and August 2023, though more recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 have generally passed. The building has maintained a consistent record of zero reported bedbug infestations in recent years, with the most recent filings (2022-2024) showing no infested or re-infested dwelling units.
