123 Hale Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The two-family house at 123 Hale Avenue in Cypress Hills, owned by Daniel Chao, is a two-story building constructed in 1899 that consists of three residential units. The property experienced significant maintenance issues in early 2019, with multiple emergency complaints filed between February and March of that year regarding heat and hot water problems, electrical outages, and water supply issues.

Specific violations were documented following Department of Housing Preservation inspections, including inadequate heat and hot water supply in the second-floor apartments (2NDFL and 2FLR), electrical supply problems in the 2FLR apartment, and an uncapped gas line nuisance in the 2FLR kitchen. While some complaints were initially closed due to lack of access for inspections, these emergency situations were subsequently addressed. In addition to the 2019 incidents, the building had one violation related to front yard maintenance documented in March 2019, though this appears to have been resolved.

The property has maintained a passing record in rodent inspections conducted in March 2012 and March 2017. Since the documented issues in 2019, there have been no further recorded complaints or violations through October 2023. The building's age and the cluster of maintenance issues in early 2019 suggest that regular maintenance and prompt repair of systems should be monitored, though it's worth noting that no major incidents have been reported in recent years.
