1 St Pauls Court, Brooklyn, NY 11226

1 St Pauls Court is a 65-unit, 6-story Class A building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Carl Zekaria. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues in 2025, with multiple plumbing complaints including problems with sinks, bathtubs, and water supply, as well as heating system complaints affecting the entire building. There were also significant water leak incidents reported in February 2025, with HPD issuing violations for heavy flow water leaks and problems with ceilings requiring paint/plaster repairs.

The building's elevator system has been a recurring concern, with several complaints about single-device operation and lack of alternate service between 2018-2024, though inspections have generally found no violations at the time. A notable pattern of bedbug infestations was recorded in 2019 (3 units), 2022 (1 unit), and most recently in 2023-2024 showing none, while rodent inspections in 2024 showed passing results except for one instance of rat activity in June 2024. The property has multiple open violations requiring attention, particularly in apartment 1K where multiple instances of defective plastered surfaces and paint issues have been documented (2024).

There are also active violations related to the failure to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection and concerning the hot water supply in apartment 5C (2024). Environmental Control Board violations from 2023 indicate regulatory issues with door lock monitoring systems in the elevator controllers, though these were resolved with a penalty of $2,500. The building has received various emergency and non-emergency maintenance requests throughout 2025, particularly related to plumbing issues, water supply problems, and heating concerns, suggesting ongoing infrastructure challenges that impact resident comfort and safety.
