633 Barbey Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The property at 633 Barbey Street in East New York is a two-story, three-unit New Law Tenement built in 1901, currently owned by Mayawathi Harilall. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water across all units, with multiple complaints filed through HPD in early 2025, and at least one similar incident in April 2022 where heat and hot water were reportedly restored before inspection.

The most recent HPD inspections in June 2024 revealed several structural and safety concerns, including a broken mortise lock on the entrance door to apartment 1R, a defective latch on a self-closing door in the first-story public hall, compromised fire-retardant materials in the hall vestibule, and various other building maintenance issues that were subsequently certified as corrected. The building's maintenance history shows regular bedbug reporting compliance with zero infestation reports since 2021, though there are two open violations from August 2022 related to posting gas leak and carbon monoxide detector requirements in common areas.

While the property has had some water-related issues, including a slow leak reported in July 2021 and a refrigerator complaint from October 2022, these problems appear to have been addressed. The building underwent rodent inspections in 2019 and 2012, passing in 2019, though there was one rat activity report in September 2019. The recent frequency of heat-related complaints and the 2024 violations related to building safety features suggest areas requiring ongoing attention, though many historical issues have been addressed through the regulatory process.
