439 Meeker Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11222

The three-story, five-unit building at 439 Meeker Avenue in Williamsburg, owned by Gabrielle Khan and constructed in 1928, has experienced recurring heating system challenges between 2018 and 2020, with multiple complaints (eight in total) regarding heat and hot water issues affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. These incidents required emergency responses from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) during the winter months, though in many cases, tenants reported that heat and hot water were restored before inspections could be conducted, and no violations were ultimately issued for some of these complaints.

The building has demonstrated good pest management practices, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past seven years (2019-2025), as confirmed by regular state-mandated filings showing zero infested units and successful eradications when applicable. In terms of safety and maintenance, the building underwent inspections in 2018 that identified several concerns requiring attention, including defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 3R, and missing wood balusters at guard rails on the 1st and 3rd story public hall stairs.

These violations were officially certified as corrected by June 2018. A construction-related complaint was filed in March 2020, but the inspector was unable to gain access during the final attempt to verify the reported issue. While the recurring heating problems from 2018-2020 represent the most significant maintenance challenge, it's worth noting that there have been no documented heat or hot water complaints since 2020, suggesting an improvement in building systems performance, though this should be verified with current residents.
