175 Tapscott Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The 27-unit, 4-story tenement building at 175 Tapscott Street in Brownsville, owned by April Rosario, has experienced recurring heating, electrical, and sanitation issues throughout 2024-2025. The most pressing concern has been the heat and hot water system, with multiple complaints recorded between December 2024 and March 2025, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building.

While some of these complaints were resolved promptly, at least two emergency heat-related complaints from January 2025 remain open as of June 2025, along with an unresolved electrical lighting issue from January 2025. The building has also faced sanitation challenges, particularly regarding garbage and recycling storage, with complaints filed in January and April 2025. Inspection attempts related to these sanitation issues, including one in April 2025, typically found no violations of housing laws, though a December 2024 complaint regarding sewage could not be inspected due to access issues.

The building has undergone several Local Law 188/17 Compliance Inspections in early 2025, with four complaint investigations conducted in February 2025, none resulting in violations. Furthermore, the bedbug reporting period from November 2023 to October 2024 shows no recorded infestations or re-infestations, suggesting relative stability regarding this particular pest issue. While many of the reported problems have been addressed through HPD inspections and corrections, the ongoing electrical and heating issues as of mid-2025 warrant attention, though it's important to note that not all complaints resulted in verified violations of housing codes.
