1061 East 13th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11230

1061 East 13th Street is a 6-story, 48-unit apartment building constructed in 1935 and currently owned by Moses Eckstein. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues in 2025, with multiple complaints filed between January and April of that year, some classified as emergencies. There have also been persistent plumbing problems, particularly affecting sinks, with two complaints in March 2025 that could not be inspected due to access issues.

The property has documented several sanitation concerns, including pest infestations and dampness issues in February 2025, resulting in violations that required correction by the property owner. Additional maintenance issues were noted in the building, including electrical problems with lighting in January 2025, which was classified as an emergency. The building has a history of violations requiring attention, particularly the elevator system, which has been the subject of multiple complaints between 2018 and 2019 regarding inoperative components and maintenance issues.

Recent inspections in October 2024 identified violations in apartment B5, including problems with doors, tiles, and window mechanism, which were subsequently certified as corrected, though an earlier violation from July 2024 regarding mold in apartment D7 remains open. The building's elevator maintenance records indicate some ongoing compliance issues, with active violations for failing to file external low-pressure inspections in 2022 and 2021. Notably, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the building since at least 2019, with all previous reports showing eradication of affected units.
