20Th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

As of July 2025, the 24-unit, 5-story residential building at 20th Street in Sunset Park, owned by Joshua Greenberg, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues in early 2025, with four separate complaints between January and February 2025, resulting in one violation being issued and another with violations that were temporarily resolved. The building, completed in 2021, has a documented history of various maintenance and safety concerns. Significant issues include a period of inadequate water supply in 2023-2024 (violations issued), plumbing problems (multiple complaints throughout 2023-2024), an unsanitary mold condition in March 2024, and various floor-related issues in January 2024.

The top-floor apartments (PH02 and PH04) have both experienced recurring issues with hot and cold water supply, particularly in bathrooms and kitchens. During the building's construction phase (2020-2021), there were multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) complaints and violations, including concerns about construction safety compliance, worker training, and construction methods. The DOB Environmental Control Board issued several violations in December 2021 related to job site safety and worker training, with penalties totaling $8,750, though these were subsequently resolved.

The building has maintained a clean bedbug record since 2021, with no reported infestations, and while there were initial rodent inspection issues in early 2019, these appear to have been addressed. Recent inspections in mid-2024 identified several housing maintenance code violations, including issues with water supply and mold conditions in PH02, while other inspections for different complaints resulted in no violations being found. The building's management received notices of violation in mid-2024 regarding inadequate hot water supply in PH02 and multiple instances of inadequate water supply overall. More recently, the heat and hot water issues in early 2025 have been the most pressing concern, with multiple emergency complaints filed between January and February 2025.
