1245 Broadway, Brooklyn, NY 11221
1245 Broadway is a 27-unit, 4-story residential building located in Bushwick, constructed in 1919 and currently owned by Jay Gutman. The property has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues throughout 2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed between January and February 2025, though some of these were duplicates of earlier reports. These heating system problems appear to be an ongoing concern, with similar complaints documented in both 2024 and 2023.
The building has also faced rodent issues, with rat activity noted in inspections throughout 2023 and 2024, though a compliance inspection in July 2025 resulted in a "Passed" status. The building's maintenance history shows several significant infrastructure concerns. In early 2025, there were issues with the elevator service and heating systems, while heating violations and a defective boiler notice were recorded in 2024. A substantial number of complaints regarding unauthorized smoking in smoke-free areas have been logged between 2023 and 2025.
The Department of Buildings' records show multiple violations related to the building's mechanical systems, including elevator servicing and boiler operations, though many of these violations were resolved. The building's bedbug reporting history shows minimal issues, with only one unit reported infested in 2022 and none reported in subsequent years. Notably, there were several violations regarding the building's fire safety systems between 2018-2019, including concerns about air duct placement affecting sprinkler coverage, though these have been addressed. The most recent environmental control board violations in 2024 relate to a generator installation and brake system maintenance, both of which were resolved with monetary penalties.
