713 Henry Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231
The 16-unit, 4-story tenement building at 713 Henry Street in Red Hook, owned by Janelle Farris, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most concerning being recurring heat and hot water problems. Between 2021 and 2022, there were multiple emergency complaints regarding heat/hot water issues, with inspections taking place in October 2022, November 2021, and February 2021. The building faced additional concerns in 2022 with cooking gas issues reported in October.
More recently, in December 2023, a major inspection revealed several violations related to fire safety, including multiple painted sprinkler heads in apartments (1G, 2C, 2F, 3C, 3D, 4D) and an illegal slide bolt lock at the entrance of apartment 3D. The inspection also noted safety issues with a roof bulkhead sprinkler head and a second-floor balcony encumbrance obstructing egress. The building had a thorough inspection in February 2021, addressing various maintenance concerns including issues with floors, ceilings, walls, electrical wiring, and ventilation systems, though no violations were found at that time.
It is worth noting that the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all six annual filings since 2019 reporting zero infested or re-infested units. Recent Department of Buildings inspections in 2021 and 2025 found no violations warranting action. While the building has experienced recurring heat/hot water issues and various safety violations, the owner has taken steps to address these through inspections and subsequent certifications, though some violations remained open for extended periods before being certified as corrected in early 2024.
