816 47th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The 28-unit, 4-story building at 816 47th Street in Borough Park, owned by Robert Beda, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with the most significant concerns centering around heat and hot water systems. Between February and April 2024 alone, there were four separate heat/hot water complaints involving the entire building, with three of these complaints requiring emergency intervention by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

Previous years show a similar pattern, with a heat/hot water complaint in October 2022, and multiple issues during 2023 including problems with cooking gas, flooring, and ceiling conditions. The building has also faced mechanical and safety concerns, as evidenced by a 2024 violation regarding construction materials in the first-story public hall. The second-floor Apartment B6 was the focus of multiple violations in 2022, including issues with carbon monoxide detectors, plumbing fixtures, water leaks, and an infestation of roaches, though records indicate these were subsequently addressed and closed.

Additional historical context shows the building had a documented occupancy issue in 2021 involving an unauthorized adult physical culture establishment in the cellar, which was resolved with no penalties. Bedbug reports indicate periodic infestations, with the most recent report for the period ending October 2024 showing no affected units, following one eradicated unit in the previous reporting period (2023-2024). The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic services and systems, particularly heating, though many issues appear to be addressed through the official complaint and violation process.
