64 South Oxford Street, Brooklyn, NY 11217

64 South Oxford Street is a 4-story, 10-unit building located in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Ryan Forman. The property has experienced persistent heating and hot water issues throughout 2023, with multiple complaints documented between September and December 2023, including several instances where inspectors were unable to gain building access for verification.

Additional maintenance concerns have emerged, including three open violations from 2023-2024 regarding bedbug report filing requirements, security lock issues at the building entrance, and an outstanding failure to file 2023 external low pressure inspection. The building has a history of problems in Apartment 2A as documented during a June 2022 inspection, including issues with carbon monoxide detectors, visible mold around the bathtub, kitchen cabinet corrosion, leaky bathroom fixtures, a defective intercom system, and problems with self-closing doors. The property has also faced several infrastructure challenges over the years, including an unresolved electrical wiring complaint from April 2024 and historical issues with the boiler system in 2018.

While some housing maintenance code violations from 2022/2023 are marked as resolved, there remains a pattern of access issues for inspectors attempting to verify complaints, as noted in multiple instances throughout the building's recent history. Rodent inspections in late 2021 and early 2022 indicated rat activity, though subsequent bait applications were implemented. The building's documented history suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding heating systems and building security infrastructure, with several open violations that require attention to regulatory compliance requirements.
