111 Montague Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201

The 30-unit, 8-story building at 111 Montague Street in Brooklyn Heights, owned by John Dimilia, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over recent years, particularly regarding heating systems and elevator functionality. Most significantly, in January 2024, there were multiple reports of heat and hot water outages affecting the entire building, though these were subsequently resolved according to tenant reports and HPD confirmation. The building is currently under investigation for a gas utility concern as of April 2025.

Elevator service has been a recurring issue, with five separate complaints filed between 2019 and 2023 regarding the single elevator's operation and lack of alternate service, though inspections did not find violations warranting penalties in most cases. A notable violation was issued in 2019 regarding elevator safety systems, which resulted in a $1,250 penalty that was resolved. There was also a failure to file the required 2018 external low-pressure inspection report in 2023, noted as an active violation.

The building's infrastructure challenges extend to basic utilities, with recorded power outage complaints in 2019 causing immediate concern for residents. More recently, in December 2024, there was a complaint about indoor air quality that was addressed through a notice to the property management. However, on a more positive note, the building has maintained a successful record in pest management, with zero bedbug infestations documented in annual reports from 2018 to the present. The property has also passed two rodent inspections conducted in 2013 and 2015, indicating general compliance with health and safety standards in these areas.
