584 Williams Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

584 Williams Avenue is a 10-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building located in East New York, owned by Kia Belgrave and constructed in 1930. The property has experienced significant heat and hot water issues throughout 2024, with multiple emergency complaints filed between April 16 and April 23, 2024, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building.

These persistent heating issues resulted in several Housing Maintenance Code violations, including inadequate hot water supply in apartment 3B, and problems with access to the heating system in the cellar/boiler room documented in inspections from September 2023 and April 2024. Other notable violations from recent inspections include defective self-closing doors in the 3rd-story public hall (November 2023), broken fire retardant materials in the west wall at bulkhead (November 2023), and a locked fire escape door in apartment 3B (July 2023). The building has an active Department of Buildings violation regarding the failure to file the 2020 external low-pressure inspection, issued in June 2023.

While there was one plumbing-related emergency complaint in October 2023, most recent incidents have centered around heating issues. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations and rodent inspections, with no reported infestations in the past seven years and successful rodent inspections in 2011 and 2012. The property has had some maintenance issues requiring attention, as evidenced by the multiple violations and service requests, with varying degrees of successful resolution noted in HPD's inspection reports.
