28 Gunther Place, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The two-family house at 28 Gunther Place in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Franklyn Patterson, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years. Most recently, in April 2024, two complaints regarding unsanitary conditions related to pests and flooring issues were filed but could not be inspected by HPD, resulting in closed cases with no violations recorded.

During December 2023, the building faced multiple maintenance challenges, including problems with heat and hot water, electrical lighting issues, and significant concerns about ceiling conditions including both water flow and mold. These December complaints were inspected by HPD, with some resulting in violations related to pest and ceiling conditions, though no violations were issued for heating, electrical, and water leak concerns.

The building's history shows previous complaints regarding illegal conversions in 2019 and 2021, and a construction enforcement work order in 2019, though all of these investigations by the Department of Buildings concluded with no violations warranted at the time of inspection. The property, built in 1901, has maintained its original two-story structure with two residential units, but the recent pattern of maintenance issues suggests ongoing building system challenges, particularly regarding sanitation and infrastructure. It's noteworthy that both the April 2024 and December 2023 pest-related complaints were classified as non-emergency situations, though they represent recurring issues with building maintenance.
