620 Crescent Street, Brooklyn, NY 11208
620 Crescent Street is a three-story, six-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1930, currently owned by Reuven Sobel and located in East New York. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most concerning being a cluster of emergency complaints in August 2024 related to water leaks with heavy flow, mold, and sewage conditions, though no violations were ultimately issued following HPD inspections. A notable open violation as of August 2024 pertains to defective or missing self-closing doors at the basement access in the public hall on the first story.
The building's recent history shows some recurring issues with water-related problems and mold, with similar complaints logged in June 2023 and multiple occasions in 2024. Looking at the building's maintenance history, there were several violations related to fire safety and building codes in 2018-2019, including problems with fire escape access, door self-closing mechanisms, and emergency egress. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations since 2019, with zero reported cases in the past five reporting periods.
While there were violations issued for failure to file external low-pressure inspections in 2023, these were subsequently dismissed. The building's rodent inspection history shows generally good results, with passing inspections in 2010, 2012, and 2013, though there was one failure in 2009 for unspecified reasons. The consistent pattern of water-related issues and unsanitary conditions, particularly in 2024, suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, though many complaints have been closed without violations being issued.
