391 Liberty Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

391 Liberty Avenue is a three-story, two-family residential building in East New York, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Abdo Sweileh. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, particularly evident in 2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed between January and February 2025, including building-wide and apartment-specific problems. The Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) has issued violations in response to some of these complaints, indicating ongoing concerns with the building's heating systems.

There are also several open violations from April 2024 related to the fire escape, including defective guide rails, a broken cornice, and issues with rust that require attention. These violations are classified as A, B, and C, indicating varying degrees of severity. The building has a documented history of maintenance issues in Apartment 2 (located on the second floor), including past problems with heat supply, water leaks, plumbing fixtures, carbon monoxide detectors, and a pest infestation that were addressed between 2022 and 2024.

The property experienced regulatory compliance issues in 2023 regarding the external low-pressure inspection filings for 2020 and 2021, though these violations were ultimately dismissed in May 2024. A 2019 complaint about an alleged illegal conversion was closed in 2020 without inspection access being granted. On a positive note, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with reports from 2023 and 2024 showing no confirmed cases or need for eradication measures. A rodent inspection conducted in 2012 also resulted in a passing grade.
