859 Thomas S Boyland St, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 859 Thomas S Boyland Street in Brownsville, owned by Mei Zhang, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues since its construction in 2004, with the most recent incidents occurring in late 2024 and late 2023. The December 2024 complaint was resolved quickly, while the November 2023 complaint regarding lack of heat/hot water in the entire building could not be verified due to access issues.

The building experienced four heat/hot water-related emergencies between December 2019 and December 2024, with specific violations noted in 2019-2020 including inadequate heat supply in Apartment 1 and a locked heating system access issue in the cellar. In addition to the recurring heat/hot water problems, the building had a Class A violation issued in April 2021 regarding the failure to file the annual bedbug report, though subsequent bedbug filings from 2021 through 2025 show no reported infestations, eradications, or re-infestions.

The property has maintained a consistent record of zero bedbug-related issues in its annual reporting since 2019, with the most recent filings in January 2025 and December 2024 indicating no infested or eradicated units during the respective reporting periods. While the building is relatively new (constructed in 2004), the persistent heating system problems over the years suggest ongoing maintenance challenges in this area, though current bedbug reporting compliance and lack of recent infestations indicate proper attention to pest management protocols.
