174 31st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11232
174 31st Street is a 20-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building built in 1916 and currently owned by Eddie Chung. The property has experienced several recurring maintenance issues, most notably with heating systems, as evidenced by three emergency heat/hot water complaints in February 2025 alone.
The building has documented safety concerns, including a broken window guard (December 2024) and previous electrical problems, with multiple complaints regarding outlets and switches between June and August 2024. A significant cluster of violations was documented in late 2024 from unit 4A, including issues with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, bathroom mold, and various electrical deficiencies, though many of these were certified as corrected by November 2024. The building has a history of illegal conversion issues, with multiple complaints documented between 2019 and 2024, including a notable incident in 2019 involving an unauthorized cellar apartment with 1 bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen facilities.
Property management has faced scrutiny for failure to promptly address violations, as evidenced by Environmental Control Board violations and penalties in 2019 totaling over $8,000. Recent inspections have shown improvements in pest management, with no bedbug reports since 2020 and recent rodent inspections passing in 2023-2024, though there was documented rat activity in 2011 and various failed inspections in previous years. The building's permit history shows an issued permit in 2019 for unspecified work, and multiple HPD inspections in 2024-2025 have resulted in both violations and the closure of various complaints, some without finding any housing law violations.
