1 Spencer Court, Brooklyn, NY 11205
1 Spencer Court is a four-story, 16-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Joel Fekete, located in Bedford-Stuyvesant. The building has experienced recurring issues with heating and hot water systems, with multiple emergency complaints recorded between 2023-2025, including outages affecting the entire building. Recent inspections in 2025 revealed ongoing rodent activity, despite baiting efforts throughout late 2024 and early 2025, though a compliance inspection in July 2025 passed.
Apartment 1C was cited in December 2024 for several violations including the presence of visible mold, missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and a defective self-closing door, though these were all certified as corrected by the end of 2024. The building's maintenance record shows various infrastructure issues, including door/window problems, lighting outages, and garbage storage concerns, though many of these complaints were either resolved or resulted in no violations being found upon inspection. The property has maintained an active bedbug reporting history from 2020 to 2024, consistently reporting zero infested or eradicated units, suggesting effective pest management.
Previous violations include a 2021 citation for obstructed fire escape access and various maintenance issues in Apartment 2B related to heating systems and bathroom conditions in 2020. While the building has faced several quality of life challenges, most recent inspections indicate ongoing attention to addressing these issues, with some violations being successfully resolved though new complaints continue to emerge. The data shows a pattern of recurring maintenance challenges, particularly related to heating systems and pest control, while recent inspections and compliance results suggest the owner is generally responsive to resolving violations when they are formally documented.
