837 Thomas S Boyland St, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The two-family house at 837 Thomas S Boyland St in Brownsville, owned by the Estate of George Bute, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there was a heat and hot water emergency in February 2025 that was resolved quickly, with confirmation from occupants that services had been restored during the HPD inspection. In February 2024, multiple issues were documented on the same day, including violations related to paint and plaster conditions on walls and ceilings, though no violations were found for problems with stairs, doors, or the exterior porch/balcony during HPD inspections.

The 2024 complaints encompassed various categories, including flooring/stairs (both floor and stairs), door/window (including door frame), and paint/plaster issues, with several of these being classified as emergency situations requiring immediate attention. The building's recent history indicates recurring concerns with basic services and maintenance. While the majority of the 2024 complaints resulted in no violations being issued, there were specific violations related to paint and plaster conditions.

The property, built in 1910, has shown vulnerability to heating system failures, as evidenced by both the 2025 emergency and the previously existing concerns in 2024. The pattern of complaints suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly in the winter months, as both heating issues occurred in February. However, it's worth noting that all service requests have been closed through HPD, with most violations and emergency situations being resolved promptly, according to the available data up to October 2023.
