Heavy violation load, active pest citations, and indoor air quality calls on the block.
For a six-unit Crown Heights walk-up, 28 open housing-code violations is a staggering load — averages for this size sit closer to two or three. Eight of those open violations are Class C, the immediately hazardous tier covering active pest infestations and defective self-closing doors. Three things to know:
Active roach and mouse infestations span multiple units. Inspectors written up active roach infestations in Apt 3B in June 2026, plus mice and roaches in Apt 3A in August 2024. Neither infestation has been certified cleared in official filings. In a six-family building, vermin don't stay contained in one unit for long.
Indoor air quality and fume complaints drift through the immediate area. Eight indoor air quality complaints have been logged in the three blocks around the building over the past year, pointing to air or fume drift in the immediate area. In small brick walk-ups, indoor odors often travel between floors through shared utility risers or commercial exhaust vents.
Common-area safety defects and heat calls stack up. Inspectors cited missing window guards in public halls, broken glass, defective self-closing bulkhead doors, and hallway obstructions in mid-2026. These core safety features remain open on the record alongside six heat and hot water complaints since late 2025.
