52 open violations across 20 units, including defective self-closing doors and active water leaks.
A 20-unit Gravesend walk-up carrying 52 open housing-code violations works out to more than two open violations per apartment. Seven of those are Class C immediately hazardous citations for missing self-closing entrance doors and dropped hot water. Three things to know:
Seven immediately hazardous violations sit open across entrance doors and upper units. Inspectors logged two Class C citations in August 2026 for defective self-closing entrance doors and latches. That comes on top of a Class C hot water outage recorded in Apartment D6, along with repeated roof leak, mold, and defective plaster citations sitting open in that same top-floor unit.
Inspectors logged multiple maintenance calls in a single month that remain unaddressed. A wave of complaints hit in July 2026 covering broken flooring, loose kitchen cabinets, ventilation issues, and outlet problems. Five of these complaints remain open without resolution, pointing to ongoing friction between management and tenants over basic interior repairs.
Street-level parking and driveway blockages dominate the surrounding blockface. In the three blocks around the building, 415 illegal parking calls and 182 blocked driveway complaints were logged over the last year. The parking calls are heavily concentrated around blocked hydrants and crosswalks, showing a constantly congested curb space right outside.
