45 Cheever Place, Brooklyn, NY 11231
The four-story, eight-unit Old Law Tenement building at 45 Cheever Place in Cobble Hill, currently owned by Gregory O'Connell, has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues since 2021, with the most recent complaints in February 2025 and January 2024 affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. These problems resulted in multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations, particularly affecting apartments 1L and 2L, which also experienced issues with carbon monoxide detectors and water fixtures.
The building has active violations with the Department of Buildings related to the failure to file required external low-pressure inspections from 2018 through 2023, as well as a power outage incident in January 2022 and multiple heat/hot water emergencies in 2021 and 2022. While there have been several complaints about sanitation issues and pests in 2023, particularly concerning dogs, most were related to earlier complaints and were directed to the online Rat Portal.
Rodent inspections have shown generally positive results since 2016, with only one failed inspection in June 2016. The building's bedbug reports from 2019 through 2025 indicate no infestations or eradications during these periods, suggesting successful management of this pest issue.
