28 Weirfield Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

28 Weirfield Street is a two-family, two-story residential building located in Bushwick, Brooklyn, constructed in 1915 and currently owned by Jonela Ruka. The property has experienced a concerning pattern of heat and hot water issues throughout December 2023, with three separate incidents reported in rapid succession between December 7 and December 22, all of which were classified as emergency situations.

The first incident on December 7 specifically affected individual apartments, though inspectors were unable to gain access to evaluate the problem. The following week, on December 14, a building-wide heat and hot water outage was reported, though tenants indicated these services had been restored by the time of inspection. The most recent complaint, filed just before Christmas on December 22, again pertained to heat and hot water issues in individual apartments, and resulted in additional violations being issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

While all these complaints were ultimately closed, the recurring nature of these heating system problems over a short period suggests an ongoing maintenance challenge within the building's infrastructure. The violations issued in the December 22 complaint warrant particular attention, as they indicate a finding of non-compliance with housing maintenance codes by HPD inspectors. Given the building's age and the pattern of heating system problems, potential tenants should be mindful of this history when considering the property, though it's worth noting that no additional complaints have been recorded since December 2023 up to the present date in July 2025.
