Four Class C violations currently open, with heat disruptions and elevator outages hitting the record.
A 96-unit Crown Heights rental building carrying 15 open code violations, including four Class C immediately-hazardous items. Active issues range from winter heat outages to recent water leaks and elevator calls. Three things to know:
Winter heat and hot water supply remains an active struggle. 43 heat and hot water complaints filed to 311 over the past three years. Code inspectors cited the property in November 2025 for failing to provide adequate heat and hot water in 6th-floor units, along with a locked cellar boiler room preventing inspection access.
Elevator shutdowns leave 96 units relying on stairs. Three elevator complaints logged in recent months, including calls in August 2026 for a single out-of-service car leaving the building with no alternate service. In a 96-unit, six-story pre-war building, single-car outages immediately choke daily movement.
Open violations point to unresolved leaks and missing building notices. Violations written in August 2026 cite broken waste lines under the kitchen sink, leaky faucets, and ceiling water damage in Apt 1B. Additional open citations cover missing smoke detectors and missing rent-stabilization notices in common areas.
