111 South Oxford Street, Brooklyn, NY 11217

The three-story, eight-unit residential building at 111 South Oxford Street in Fort Greene, owned by Katharine Burek, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past three years (2021-2025). Most notably, there have been recurring problems with heat and hot water, with three separate emergency complaints documented between December 2021 and November 2023, including a recent November 2023 complaint which was resolved but required HPD inspection. The building has faced persistent pest-related challenges, particularly involving roaches, with multiple violations issued between 2022 and 2023, including a notable infestation in Basement Apartment 1 that was documented in 2023 with multiple violation notices.

Other maintenance issues have included door-related problems, with inspections in 2023 noting defective self-closing doors both leading to the roof bulkhead and the rear yard in Apartment 1. The property has maintained a good record regarding bedbug infestations, with official reports from 2022-2025 showing zero cases of infestation or eradication during the reporting periods. Rodent inspections have resulted in passing grades in November 2021 and February 2023, suggesting effective pest control measures in place.

Additional historical complaints include a 2018 report of illegal after-hours work (which was investigated but no violations were found) and a drainage issue from 2022 that was also investigated with no violations issued. The building's maintenance record shows a pattern of recurring problems, particularly with heat/hot water systems and pest control, though many complaints have been resolved following HPD inspections. The most recent violations from August 2023 relate to a roach infestation and door issues in Basement Apartment 1, which require attention based on Housing Maintenance Code requirements.
