130 Bristol Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

130 Bristol Street is a two-story, four-unit brick tenement building located in Brownsville, built in 1930 and currently owned by Kings. The property has experienced persistent maintenance issues over recent years, with the most significant problems occurring in late 2022 and early 2023. These include multiple heat and hot water outages (both building-wide and apartment-specific) between October and November 2022, along with electrical issues including a power outage and problems with outlets and switches in January 2023.

The building has also faced various water-related issues, including slow leaks in multiple instances from October 2022 to January 2023, and several plumbing violations. More recent maintenance concerns have emerged in 2023-2024, including an open violation as of July 2024 regarding defective mortar joints at the building's south wall, and previous violations related to brick pointing, self-closing doors, and exposed electrical wiring in the basement. The property has undergone regular bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent filings showing no active infestations or need for treatment in the past two years, though there were reports of four units requiring treatment in 2022-2023.

The building's condition has warranted multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations and inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), with various maintenance issues being classified as emergency situations, particularly during the 2022-2023 period. The property's mechanical systems have shown particular vulnerability, with multiple complaints about heat and hot water issues, and electrical problems occurring during different seasons. While some violations have been closed and repairs completed, including certain electrical and safety issues, several open violations and past maintenance patterns suggest ongoing challenges with building maintenance and system reliability. The building's age and history as a New Law Tenement may contribute to these persistent maintenance issues, though recent bedbug filings indicate successful management of that particular concern.
