46 open housing violations, 11 Class C hazardous conditions, and persistent water leaks dominate this building's record.
A 16-unit Crown Heights pre-war building on Eastern Parkway where active housing-code citations carry serious weight. The file shows 46 open violations — 11 of them Class C, the immediately hazardous tier covering positive lead paint tests and active mice infestations. Three things to know:
11 Class C violations mark immediately hazardous conditions inside apartments. Inspectors cited a positive lead-based paint hazard in August 2025, followed by active mice infestations and visible mold citations in unit B5 in April and August 2026. Across units B5 and C9, citations cover broken plaster, defective wiring, and active leaks.
Water leaks are actively cascading through apartments B5 and C9. Citations in April and June 2026 document water leaking through ceilings and walls in apartment B5 and apartment C9, damaging plaster and triggering repeat mold write-ups. The pattern points to unresolved vertical riser leaks affecting stacked lines.
Commercial exhaust and food establishment complaints concentrate nearby. Within three blocks, 13 food establishment complaints were logged over the last 12 months, mostly detailing commercial exhaust and venting issues from nearby retail spaces. For apartments near ground-level commercial lines, food smells can bleed through shared risers and shafts.
