778 Livonia Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

778 Livonia Avenue is a 4-story, 8-unit residential building located in East New York, owned by Ali Saleh and constructed in 2016. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, particularly during late 2023 through early 2024, when multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding lack of heat or hot water affecting entire building systems.

While some of these issues were reported as resolved during investigations, they represent a significant pattern of heating system problems. Additionally, there have been persistent sanitation concerns, including two recent complaints (May 2025 and December 2024) regarding garbage/recycling storage, though HPD investigations did not find housing law violations in these cases. The building underwent a comprehensive inspection in June 2024, resulting in several violations that were subsequently addressed, including issues with self-closing doors at various building access points and three specific areas where door repairs were required.

The property has demonstrated variable performance in terms of rodent control, with some inspections passing and others failing for various reasons between 2022-2024. Importantly, the building has maintained an active record of compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing zero infested units on all four annual reports from 2021-2025. While the building has faced various maintenance challenges since its construction, recent years show improvement in certain areas, including rodent inspections, with more consistent passing results in 2023-2024, though the presence of garbage storage complaints suggests continued attention to waste management is needed.
