183 Van Dyke Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231

183 Van Dyke Street is a 5-unit, 3-story Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1931 in Brooklyn's Red Hook neighborhood, currently owned by Gregory O'Connell. The building's maintenance history reveals several significant issues, particularly in 2023, when multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations were documented in apartment 2R, including problems with mold, various paint/plaster issues, window frame damage, and safety concerns involving broken window guards. The building experienced an emergency heat/hot water issue in January 2025, which was resolved shortly thereafter.

In 2023, multiple complaints were filed regarding building conditions, including safety, plumbing, and various maintenance issues, resulting in several violations that were eventually closed. These violations included problems with windows, walls, and ceilings, with some requiring immediate attention, particularly those related to safety concerns. The building's recent history shows attention to bed bug reporting compliance, with no documented infestations in the past six reporting periods from 2019 to 2025.

A Department of Buildings complaint regarding work without a permit was filed and closed in January 2025, though access was denied for inspection. The property has demonstrated some responsiveness to maintenance issues, with multiple service requests being closed after inspections, though many resulted in violations requiring correction. The building's age and the nature of the violations suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding basic services like heating and general maintenance, though the absence of bed bug infestations in recent years is notable.
