384 12th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The 6-unit, 3-story Old Law Tenement building at 384 12th Street in South Slope, owned by Judith Golowa and constructed in 1931, has experienced several significant maintenance issues recently, particularly concerning heat and hot water systems. Most notably, in late 2023 and into 2025, the building faced multiple heating system failures, with three documented complaints in November 2023 and one in December 2023, including an official Housing Maintenance Code violation issued in December 2023 regarding inadequate heat supply to Apartment 2F.

A plumbing/water supply emergency was also reported and resolved in June 2025, and another heat-related emergency was recorded in December 2023. The building's heating system maintenance appears to be an ongoing challenge, with the most recent violations including locked access to the basement boiler room being cited in December 2023. The property has maintained a clean record regarding pest control, as evidenced by six consecutive annual bedbug reports from 2019 to 2024 showing zero infested units.

While there were three complaints about illegal after-hours work between 2023 and 2024, all were investigated and found to have no violations at the time of inspection. The building's owner does appear to be regularly filing the required annual bedbug reports, and the most recent report from December 2024 covers the previous year with no incidents reported. The combination of recurring heating system issues and water supply problems, particularly during winter months, suggests ongoing challenges with the building's infrastructure, though the relatively minor nature of most other complaints and the absence of bedbug infestations are positive indicators of general maintenance.
