947 Crescent Street, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The two-story, four-unit residential building at 947 Crescent Street in East New York, currently owned by Eli Maor, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over the past few years. Most recently, in January 2024, multiple violations were documented, including problems with flooring, cabinetry, and plumbing fixtures, specifically involving bathtubs/showers. The building's first-floor apartment (1R) has shown particular maintenance challenges, with January 2024 inspections revealing issues with window sashes, electrical outlets, floor tiles, and a troubling infestation of roaches that remains classified as an open violation.

Earlier complaints in 2021 had indicated problems with flooring/stairs, unsanitary conditions (pests), and heating/hot water systems, while a 2020 health inspection found no violations regarding animal conditions on the property. The building's maintenance history reveals a pattern of recurring issues, though some have been addressed and closed. For instance, multiple violations regarding electrical outlets, floor tiles, and fixtures were certified as corrected between February 2024 and April 2024.

Interestingly, no bedbug infestations have been reported in recent assessments, with the most recent filings (as of April 2024) showing zero infested or re-infested units. The property has passed both of its rodent inspections (2020 and 2012), suggesting some consistency in pest control efforts, though the recent roach infestation in apartment 1R indicates ongoing challenges with vermin management. While many of the building's documented issues have been addressed and closed, the presence of open violations as of 2024 suggests that some maintenance challenges persist.
