1975 Union Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

1975 Union Street is a 4-story, 22-unit residential building located in Brownsville, built in 1923 and currently owned by Pinchos Jager. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with three emergency complaints recorded in April 2025 about building-wide problems, following similar complaints in late 2024 and early 2024.

These heating system failures are particularly concerning given the building's age and history. In 2024, there were also non-emergency complaints about kitchen appliance issues, and other maintenance concerns including wall repairs, flooring issues, and water leaks, though no violations were issued for these problems. The building has notable historical compliance issues, including two active violations from the Department of Buildings for failure to file required inspection reports - one for 2018 external low pressure inspection and another for 2017 boiler inspection.

In terms of safety systems, violations were documented in March 2023 in apartment 3D regarding defective carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, though these were subsequently addressed. The property underwent several maintenance repairs in 2023, including work on fire-retardant materials, window glass replacement, removing encumbered areas, and addressing a roof leak in the 4th-story public hall, with violations related to these issues being properly certified as corrected. The building has maintained a clean bedbug and rodent inspection record since 2019, with only one previous infestation documented in 2017 that was eradicated; records show consistent reporting with no active infestations since then.
