200 Columbia Heights, Brooklyn, NY 11201
200 Columbia Heights is a 10-unit, 4-story residential building located in Brooklyn Heights, constructed in 1844 and currently owned by Walter Gorman. The property has experienced recurring issues with heating and hot water systems, particularly during late 2019 and early 2020, with multiple emergency complaints filed through the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) suggesting system reliability problems affecting both individual apartments and the entire building.
In 2020, several violations were documented, including safety concerns with painted sprinkler heads, defective fire retardant materials, and lead paint hazards in a 2nd-story apartment foyer. More recent inspections have revealed ongoing compliance issues, with open violations as of 2024 related to bedbug reporting requirements and a concerning building entrance brick column condition noted in a 2023 Environmental Control Board violation. The building has a documented history of mechanical issues, including boiler problems in 2022 that resulted in violations for chimney, combustion air intake, and related equipment defects.
Multiple Local Law 188/17 inspections have occurred, with the most recent active case from August 2024 regarding tenant protection plan compliance. While the building passed rodent inspections in 2013 and has had some complaints resolved, the pattern of heating system outages, along with various safety violations and open compliance issues, suggests ongoing maintenance and safety management challenges. Recent complaints from 2023-2024 indicate continued attention required for both building systems and safety compliance matters, with some inspections noting failed access attempts for verification purposes.
