242 Warwick Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The three-story, two-family home at 242 Warwick Street in Cypress Hills, currently owned by H2626 LLC, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past five years. Most notably, in 2020, multiple serious violations were documented, including findings of an active open-ended gas line on the second floor, concerning gas line modifications in the basement, and water-damaged ceilings with significant cracking and partial collapse at various levels.

The property has also faced recurring utility-related problems, with four documented power outages and multiple issues with the cooking gas supply between 2018 and 2019, particularly affecting the first-floor apartment, which was found to have multiple safety violations including missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, as well as improper gas supply to fixtures. More recent history shows the building continues to have compliance challenges, with illegal construction work and plumbing violations in May 2020 resulting in ECB penalties totaling over $10,000, though the balance due was adjusted to $0. There were also multiple ECB violations related to failure to maintain the building in a code-compliant manner and to address water damage issues, with Deutsche Bank National Trust Company named as the respondent.

While the building passed rodent inspections in 2012 and 2019, a rodent-related complaint was filed in May 2019. The most recent inspection in 2022 concerning illegal conversion reportedly couldn't be completed due to access issues. Despite the considerable history of violations and complaints, most of these issues have been marked as resolved, though several past violations from 2018 regarding kitchen facilities and safety systems remain noteworthy.
