28 Graham Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206

28 Graham Avenue is a 4-story, 4-unit residential building in Williamsburg, constructed in 1931 and currently owned by 28 Graham Ave LLC. The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues, with multiple complaints filed through the Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) department in recent years. Notably, in January 2023, both building-wide and apartment-specific heat and hot water issues were reported, with violations documented in apartment 3F related to inadequate heat, excessively hot water, and a faulty bathroom ventilation system.

Similar heat-related complaints were filed in December 2021, during which HPD was unable to gain access to perform inspections. The building has faced several significant maintenance challenges, including active Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations as of 2021 regarding disrepair of decorative roof molding and exterior building wall concerns, with penalties totaling $1,250. Earlier incidents include a garbage/recycling storage issue in June 2019 that resulted in violations. In terms of structural concerns, a September 2021 complaint about building shaking/vibration was investigated, though the final disposition details are unclear.

The property has maintained an active bedbug reporting record from 2019 through 2024, showing zero infestation cases in all reported periods. Noteworthy is a 2019 Certificate of Occupancy complaint that resulted in the inspector being unable to gain access for verification. While some violations have been resolved, others remain active as of the latest available data, indicating ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges for the property. This report is based on records up to October 2023, and while the building has maintained a bedbug-free status for the past several reporting periods, the persistence of heating system issues and existing ECB violations suggests continued attention to building systems infrastructure is needed.
