311 Grafton Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The two-family house at 311 Grafton Street in Brownsville, owned by Hagit Mangami and built in 1930, has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water availability over the past several years. Most recently, in 2025 and late 2023, there were emergency complaints about heating issues that could not be investigated due to lack of access.

Similar access issues prevented inspections in 2018 for multiple heating problems, though one heating complaint from that year was inspected and found to have no violations. The building also faced ventilation system concerns in November 2023, which remained unresolved due to access issues. The property has a documented history of maintenance and safety concerns, including an open violation from 2018 requiring the repair of a loose wooden handrail at the stairs leading to the second-story public hall, though this violation was certified as corrected in February 2019.

Additional incidents include a September 2018 complaint about unsanitary conditions regarding garbage/recycling storage, which could not be inspected due to access issues, and a rodent sighting complaint in the same month that resulted in a passed inspection. The most recent pest-related report from 2024 indicated no bedbug infestations between November 2022 and October 2023, with no units affected. While many complaints have been resolved, the recurring pattern of heating system access issues and the outstanding ventilation complaint suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.
