119 Quincy Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216

At 119 Quincy Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, this three-story, four-unit building constructed in 1931 has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges, most notably with its heating system. Since late 2023 and through 2025, there have been multiple complaints regarding inadequate heat and hot water, with at least five such complaints in the past year alone, including a recent emergency complaint in March 2025 that HPD could not verify due to lack of access to inspect.

The building has also faced several concerning issues related to air quality, particularly in 2024, with at least three complaints regarding dust from construction and lead dust in common areas, one of which (as of March 2024) remains listed as in progress. In addition to these recurring problems, there were significant maintenance concerns in late 2023, including multiple emergency complaints regarding door security issues, and a gas utility referral that resulted in an Oath violation being served in November 2023.

The building's plumbing system has also come under scrutiny, with two complaints regarding allegedly illegal plumbing work documented in late 2023, along with a boiler-related complaint in September 2023 that resulted in an Oath violation. While there was one complaint about garbage/recycling storage in March 2024 that was inspected with no violations found, and various non-emergency complaints regarding building systems, the most pressing ongoing issues appear to be related to the heating system and air quality concerns. Notably, the building has reported no bedbug infestations during the most recent reporting period (2022-2023), which suggests that this particular issue has not been a recent concern.
