486 Thatford Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The two-family residence at 486 Thatford Avenue in Brownsville, owned by Murry Railey, is a two-story building constructed in 1930. The most notable incident on record occurred in February 2021, when residents reported concerns about heat and hot water availability in the building.

The complaints were classified as emergency situations by the Housing Maintenance Code, and while the Housing Preservation and Development department responded to the issue within three days, they were unable to gain access to inspect the apartment in question or any other units in the building. Ultimately, both the 311 service request and the housing maintenance complaint were closed without resolution, with the agency advising residents to file new complaints if the conditions persisted.

The building's official records, as of my knowledge cutoff in October 2023, show no further reported heat or hot water issues since the February 2021 incident. While the lack of access during the inspection process was noted as a significant factor in the complaint's closure, it's important to mention that there have been no recorded complaints of this nature in the subsequent years through October 2023. The relatively limited number of complaints on record over this extended period could suggest either improved maintenance conditions or reduced reporting of issues in the building, though no definitive conclusion can be drawn without more comprehensive data.
