57 Maspeth Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11211

57 Maspeth Avenue, a 17-unit, 4-story residential building constructed in 2004 in East Williamsburg, has experienced recurring issues with heating and hot water systems, most recently documented in May 2025 with emergency complaints from the entire building regarding inadequate heat and hot water. These heating system problems appear to have persisted since March 2024, as similar complaints were filed multiple times in that month alone.

The building has also faced other maintenance challenges, including a slow water leak reported in March 2024 that was subsequently addressed, and an unsanitary garbage/recycling storage condition from the same month for which access restrictions prevented full inspection. The property has maintained a good record with regard to pest control, as evidenced by its bed bug reports from 2021 through 2024 showing zero infested dwelling units, and all associated eradication efforts were successful.

The building's elevator system has had documented issues, with a violation issued in September 2019 for failure to correct defects from a 2017 inspection, although a related violation from March 2020 was subsequently dismissed in December 2022. Regular rodent inspections from 2018 to 2019 consistently passed, indicating effective pest management in that regard. While there was an annual bed bug report requirement violation documented in April 2021, this appears to have been an administrative oversight as the building subsequently maintained a clean record in this area through 2024.
