546 Pennsylvania Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

546 Pennsylvania Avenue is a two-family house located in East New York, built in 1910 and currently owned by Hugh Williams. The building has experienced several recurring issues with heat and hot water services over the past two years, with the most recent complaints emerging in November 2024, including at least one open complaint as of November 14, 2024.

Between October 2023 and November 2024, there have been at least 12 documented complaints regarding heating and hot water problems, with multiple instances of HPD being unable to gain access for inspections, though some complaints were later closed following inspections or tenant reports of restored services. These heating issues appear to have persisted despite multiple violation notices being issued, as indicated in the December 2023 complaints.

In addition to the heating problems, there was one documented water leak incident in November 2023 that was investigated but resulted in no violations being issued. A separate non-emergency complaint regarding unsanitary conditions in the garbage/recycling storage area was filed in November 2023 and closed in January 2024. The high frequency of heat and hot water-related complaints, particularly in the most recent reporting periods, suggests ongoing maintenance challenges with the building's basic systems, though some complaints have been resolved through inspections or repairs.
