567 Union Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

567 Union Street is a 4-story, 8-unit residential building located in Gowanus, Brooklyn, owned by Kaid Ali and constructed in 1920 as a new law tenement. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with the most recent incident reported in December 2023 affecting the entire building, though heat and hot water were reportedly restored following the complaint.

Previous heat/hot water problems occurred in February 2020, affecting apartment 1R specifically. The building has also faced several maintenance and safety concerns, including multiple violations in 2020 related to building access and safety systems, such as self-closing doors at the cellar entrance and locked access to the heating system. As of June 2023, there are active violations for failure to file external low pressure inspections for both 2020 and 2021.

The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in any dwelling units over the past eight reporting periods from 2019 to 2024. Other complaints investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) were primarily related to cooking gas and appliance issues in early 2023, though no violations were issued for these complaints. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues, the absence of recent bedbug infestations and the resolution of most HPD complaints suggest ongoing management attention to building conditions, despite some recurring systems maintenance challenges.
