The 5-story, 12-unit residential building at 230 President Street in Carroll Gardens, owned by Abe Cohen, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in 2025. Most notably, there was a concerning pattern of heat and hot water complaints in April 2025, with multiple emergency reports indicating building-wide and apartment-specific problems. A more recent health-related complaint regarding indoor air quality and chemical odors was logged in June 2025, leading to a written notice to the property owner.
The building's maintenance records show ongoing sanitation challenges, with multiple complaints about garbage and recycling storage, though inspections found these did not violate housing laws. The property has an extensive history of boiler and heating system issues, with violations remaining open as of October 2024 regarding locked access to the heating system and other maintenance problems. Environmental Control Board records show relevant violations from 2023-2025, including a missing spill switch on the boiler's draft regulator (currently active with an associated fine).
Earlier violations from 2019-2020 documented electrical safety concerns, including unapproved wiring and exposed electrical connections, though these were resolved. The building has had recurring rat activity detected in 2024-2025, as evidenced by multiple baiting inspections, though recent reports from 2023-2025 indicate no bedbug infestations. Several violations related to improper garbage storage, building upkeep, and irregularities in tenant safety procedures have been documented, with some violations dating back to 2018 concerning building materials and construction.
