120 Highland Place, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The 2-story, 4-unit tenement building at 120 Highland Place in Cypress Hills, owned by Kalon Miah and constructed in 1915, has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring between 2023-2024. The building currently has several open violations from December 2023, primarily affecting the second-floor apartment (Apartment 2), including issues with the carbon monoxide detector, smoke detector, defective vinyl floor tiles, leaky kitchen faucets, broken window components, and multiple electrical and plumbing concerns.

More recent incidents include a plumbing-related water supply issue in September 2024, which was investigated by HPD but resulted in no violations. The property has a history of various maintenance complaints, including problems with windows, plumbing (sinks and water supply), electrical systems, pests, and unsanitary conditions, with many cases resulting in violations that require attention, as noted in HPD reports.

The building's inspection history also shows attention to basic needs such as heat and hot water, with complaints in 2019 and 2020 being resolved promptly. While the property has maintained generally passing records in previous years regarding rodent inspections (2009 and 2012), the recent pattern of violations suggests ongoing maintenance challenges that affect resident comfort and safety. The most recent open violations from December 2023 indicate specific issues with safety equipment (smoke and carbon monoxide detectors) that require urgent attention, along with multiple infrastructure concerns that suggest the building may be experiencing difficulties with basic systems such as plumbing, electrical, and window functionality.
