37 Wolcott Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231

The three-story, one-unit Old Law Tenement building at 37 Wolcott Street in Red Hook, owned by Shane Hakakian and constructed in 1899, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past five years. Most recently, in May 2024, there were multiple urgent plumbing complaints about water supply problems that were addressed, though one was noted as a duplicate of an existing building-wide issue. The building has faced recurring electrical problems, particularly in 2019, with multiple "No Lighting" violations and a documented emergency in October 2019.

Other significant incidents from 2019 included issues with cooking gas, heat/hot water, water leaks with heavy flow, and problems with an electric/gas range, which all resulted in violations. During this same period, there was a construction enforcement work order issued in October 2019, followed by a stop-work order. More recent concerns surfaced in 2024, with an illegal conversion complaint filed in May 2024, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification.

The building currently has several open violations as of 2024, including a missing Certificate of Inspection frame, improper notice posting requirements, and encumbrances in common areas on all three stories. There is also a noted issue with a defective self-closing door at the front entrance. Notably, the building has maintained a record of no bedbug infestations reported since 2021, and while multiple water and electrical issues have been documented through 311 complaints, most have been addressed and closed. The property has had various permits issued between 2018 and 2019 for plumbing work, though specific details on the work completed are not provided in the available data.
