416 Adelphi Street, Brooklyn, NY 11238

The 4-story, 10-unit building at 416 Adelphi Street in Fort Greene, owned by Phyllis Jalbert, has experienced recurring heating system issues over the past two years. Most recently, there have been multiple complaints about lack of heat and hot water in both individual apartments and throughout the entire building in 2025 and 2024, with HPD investigations confirming restoration of services in some cases, though access to conduct full inspections was often limited. The building has several open violations from 2023: Apartment 4R has documented issues including a defective self-closing entrance door, roof leak, and problems with plastered surfaces requiring repair.

There are also two significant open violations from May 2023 requiring the posting of gas leak procedures and housing information notices in common areas. Earlier violations from March 2023 in Apartment 1R were addressed by May 2023, involving water leak repairs and carbon monoxide detector replacement. The building's bedbug reporting history shows consistent compliance with zero infestations reported in the past six annual filings, with the most recent report from May 2025 covering the period from November 2023.

This indicates successful management of pest control protocols in recent years. Given the ongoing heating system challenges and several open violations, particularly in the most recent years, attention to these maintenance issues appears necessary. However, it's worth noting that the building's age and cost-effective nature of the property class (Old Law Tenement) may contribute to these recurring maintenance concerns.
