16 open violations, active self-closing door citations, and a wave of winter interior repairs.
A six-unit pre-war walk-up in Crown Heights where open code violations have accumulated heavily relative to the unit count. The file carries 16 open citations across a single six-family frame, including two immediately hazardous Class C items. Three things to know:
Two Class C violations for defective self-closing doors remain open from February 2026. Housing inspectors logged two Class C violations in February 2026 for defective hinges and latches on secondary egress self-closing doors. In a small six-unit frame, broken egress doors are a direct safety hazard during a fire.
Inspectors cited multiple physical defects inside Apt 2L during one February visit. A single apartment triggered a cluster of violations in early February 2026. Citations cover broken plaster, missing deadbolt locks, protruding floor nails in the foyer, broken bathroom tiles, and unposted building notices.
Administrative compliance sits unresolved alongside physical repairs. Five Class A administrative violations were issued on the same day in February 2026 for missing mandatory notices, including gas leak emergency procedures, smoke detector rules, and housing information guides in common areas.
