45 Strong Place, Brooklyn, NY 11231

The three-story, four-unit residential building at 45 Strong Place in Cobble Hill, currently owned by Donna Costa, has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years. Most concerning is a recent building-wide heating and hot water outage in November 2024, which was temporarily resolved during HPD's inspection.

The building also has an ongoing pattern of regulatory non-compliance related to bedbug reporting; from 2021 through 2024, four separate violations have been recorded due to failure to file the required annual bedbug reports as mandated by Housing Maintenance Code § HMC. These violations, while classified as "class A," indicating they are serious in nature, do not appear to be directly related to current tenant safety issues such as infestations, as no recent bedbug complaints have been lodged through 311 services.

The building, constructed in 1900, has maintained its status as a "HEREAFTER CONVERTED CLASS A" property, which typically indicates a formerly multiple dwelling that has been converted to a Class A configuration. While the heating system issue represents the most recent and immediate concern for current residents, it is worth noting that similar heating and hot water complaints have affected other buildings in the vicinity, suggesting this may be part of a larger infrastructure challenge rather than an issue unique to this property. The persistent bedbug reporting violations, while administrative in nature, represent the only other documented regulatory compliance issue over the past four years.
