2 Cox Place, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The three-story, two-family house at 2 Cox Place in Cypress Hills, owned by Yogandra Paray, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past five years. Most notably, in July 2022, there were multiple emergency plumbing complaints regarding toilet problems across several units, as well as a non-emergency water leak issue involving damp spots, though inspection access was not granted in any of these cases.

The building has also faced plumbing challenges in 2020, including emergency complaints about sink problems and a concerning lack of heat and hot water affecting the entire building, with similar access denial issues during inspections. Pest control has been another area of concern, with reports of rat sightings in September 2021, one of which remains in progress as of October 2023.

Additional maintenance issues documented in 2020 included problems with window frames, which was categorized as an emergency complaint. While there was a complaint in 2018 regarding an alleged illegal conversion of commercial space to dwelling units, this was marked as access denied upon inspection. Despite the closure of these various complaints, the recurring pattern of access denial for inspections raises questions about the thoroughness of resolution verification for these reported issues, particularly concerning the plumbing and heating problems that have affected multiple units.
