183 Grafton Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The two-family residential building at 183 Grafton Street in Brownsville, owned by Fang Lin, has experienced some notable maintenance issues in recent years.

Built in 1930, this two-story structure has a documented history of heating and hot water problems, particularly affecting the first-floor unit (Apartment 1). In January 2018, the building was cited for two significant violations: an inadequate heating system (Class C violation, which typically indicates potentially hazardous conditions) and an excessive hot water temperature issue, with readings of 148 degrees recorded at the kitchen faucet, well above the legal maximum of 130 degrees (Class C violation).

While the heating violation was certified as corrected later that month, the hot water temperature violation remains open and unresolved in the records. It's important to note that these violations, stemming from a single inspection in January 2018, are now over seven years old and there have been no documented violations or inspections in the subsequent years, which could suggest either improved compliance or a lack of inspections during the interim period.
