236 Livingston Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201

236 Livingston Street, a 26-story, 271-unit residential building completed in 2009 and currently owned by Andrew Levinson, has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in 2025. The building has faced recurring elevator maintenance concerns, with multiple complaints and violations between 2022 and 2025, including two service requests in May 2025 alone.

In early 2025, there were notable heating and hot water system problems, with multiple complaints and violations issued between January 20-31. The building's systems have also shown concerning patterns, with a significant cluster of heat and hot water complaints documented in January 2025, and more recent plumbing issues reported in April 2025. Other important maintenance and safety concerns include an active Department of Buildings complaint regarding elevator multiple devices from March 2025, and historical issues with heating systems as evidenced by multiple HPD violations in early 2025.

The building has also undergone various inspections and received violations for life safety systems, particularly in Apartment 16E in October 2023, where issues included carbon monoxide detector problems and water leak concerns. While the building has maintained compliance with rodent inspections (passing in 2018 and 2010) and has a relatively recent bedbug report showing eradication of infested units, the persistent nature of elevator, heating, and building systems issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has undergone several permit issuances between 2019-2021, with routine maintenance and emergency work being performed, as evidenced by multiple EW (Erected Work) and PL (Plumbing) permits.
