117 Thomas S Boyland St, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The four-story, 15-unit building at 117 Thomas S Boyland Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Adraine Grant, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with the heating and hot water systems, with emergency complaints filed regarding these services in October and November 2024, as well as multiple other incidents throughout 2023-2024. The building is currently facing an open electrical issue as of May 2025 involving outlets or switches.

The property has also dealt with various sanitation concerns, including documented issues with pests, mold, and water leaks in early 2024, along with the presence of mice in apartment 4A as of November 2024. Multiple housing maintenance code violations remain open as of late 2024, addressing issues such as heating system access, water supply problems, and electrical concerns, particularly affecting apartment 4A. The building's maintenance record shows some concerning patterns, particularly regarding heating system reliability and water supply consistency.

There are also two active Department of Buildings violations from 2019 and 2023 related to inspection filing requirements. However, the property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations over the past five reporting periods from 2020 to 2025, with no units reporting infestation in the last four years. While recent rodent inspections show varying results, with "Rat Activity" recorded in mid-2023, the most recent inspection from April 2024 passed. The building's history suggests ongoing challenges with basic services and infrastructure, particularly heating and maintenance response times, though some improvement is indicated through various closed complaints and violation resolutions over time.
