1575 East New York Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The 3-unit, 3-story building at 1575 East New York Avenue in Brownsville, owned by David Koppel and constructed in 2005, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues since at least 2020, with multiple complaints and violations. Most notably, in February 2024, there were several emergency complaints regarding heat and hot water problems affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, including a documented violation for inadequate hot water provision in Apartment 1.

More recently, in early 2025, there was a complaint about unsanitary garbage/recycling storage that was investigated but did not result in any housing law violations. The building's maintenance history reveals other significant concerns, including a 2024 boiler access issue and an active DOB violation from December 2020 concerning an unstable exterior wall with missing mortar and bricks, impacting the building's structural integrity.

The property has experienced some infrastructure issues, with documented problems including a water leak and electrical lighting concerns in 2020, though no violations were issued for these. Historical records show periodic rodent inspections, with the last three (2016-2017) passing without issues, while recent bedbug reports (2022-2023) indicate no infestations or related problems. The building has had multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations related to general maintenance, including requirements for gas leak procedures, building entrance door conditions, and fire retardant materials, all of which have been addressed and closed.
