301A Powell Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212
The four-story, eight-unit building at 301A Powell Street in Brownsville, owned by Joe Redek, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout 2024-2025, with multiple complaints filed by tenants between October 2024 and April 2025. These complaints have generally been closed due to lack of access for inspection, though one December 2024 complaint was reported as corrected.
The building has also faced significant maintenance challenges, particularly in late 2024 and early 2025, including multiple emergency service requests related to doors, windows, and general maintenance that were subsequently closed. Two major violations were issued in July 2022 regarding illegal cellar conversion and unauthorized work, though the illegal occupancy violation remains active with a $1,250 penalty.
The building's systems appear to require attention, as evidenced by five active Department of Buildings violations from 2019-2023 related to failure to file annual boiler inspections. While the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations in recent years, rodent activity has been a persistent issue, with multiple inspections showing rat activity between 2017 and 2024, including recent inspections in December 2024 and January 2025. These ongoing maintenance and infrastructure issues suggest challenges with building systems and pest control management, which may impact resident comfort and safety.
