190 Butler Street, Brooklyn, NY 11217

The 3-story, 4-unit residential building at 190 Butler Street in Gowanus, owned by Michelle Delauz, has experienced recurring heating system issues, as evidenced by multiple complaints in 2024 and 2025 regarding inadequate heat and hot water throughout the building. Most recently, in April 2025, there were open complaints about building-wide heat and hot water problems, which remain unresolved as of the current date.

The building has also faced electrical challenges, with two power outage incidents recorded in April 2025, though these were investigated and found not to violate housing laws, and one cooking gas-related complaint in the same month. Apartment 2 has been the focus of several specific maintenance issues, including violations for defective floor tiles in the bathroom and kitchen, problems with heat supply, and an ongoing situation with roach infestation as of January 2023, along with ceiling water leak concerns.

The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with multiple annual reports (2019-2024) showing zero affected units. While there were some plumbing issues in 2024 that were resolved, most maintenance complaints have centered around the building's heating system, which appears to be an ongoing concern. The building's overall violation history shows a mix of both resolved and open issues, particularly affecting Unit 2, which has been cited for various maintenance problems including heat supply, floor repairs, and pest control.
