89 Crooke Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226

89 Crooke Avenue is a 57-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement building constructed in 1928, currently owned by Parcrook LLC. The property has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues in 2025, with multiple complaints filed between April and May 2025. During this period, tenants reported building-wide heat and hot water failures, prompting multiple inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

While some complaints were closed after inspection, others remained open pending verification of repairs. The building has an active elevator complaint as of June 2025 regarding a single device with no alternate service, and there were multiple complaints about unauthorized construction work and illegal conversions in late 2024, though some of these complaints were either closed without violations or resulted in inspectors being unable to gain access. Earlier records from 2024 show several notable maintenance issues, including a C-class violation for defective self-closing doors in multiple apartments and public areas, and a bedbug infestation issue in Apartment 4D that was subsequently addressed.

The elevator system has been a recurring focus of attention, with several Environmental Control Board violations between 2019 and 2023, including issues with door gaps, inspection boxes, and access keys. However, the building has maintained a good record regarding bedbug and rodent inspections, with no reported infestations in the past five years and passing rodent inspections in 2018, 2020, and 2022. The property has shown some improvement in responsiveness to violations, as evidenced by the resolution of multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations, though the recent heating issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.
