137 Autumn Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The two-family house at 137 Autumn Avenue in Cypress Hills, owned by Xingxu Dong, is a 2-story building constructed in 1905 with three units. The property has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues, with three separate emergency complaints filed in 2021 (March, October, and November), all of which either went uninvestigated due to lack of access or were closed without resolution.

The building also faced rodent problems in 2021, with multiple complaints in April and May resulting in findings of violations, though a December 2021 compliance inspection passed. There were electrical wiring concerns reported in May 2020 which were inspected but resulted in no violations. The property has a notable history of access issues during inspections, particularly regarding complaints about illegal conversions, with inspectors consistently unable to gain access during multiple attempts between 2018 and 2022.

Two permit-related complaints were filed and closed in 2022, with one inspection in June 2022 finding no violations. The building previously showed rodent activity in June 2021 and the absence of such issues in a 2012 inspection indicates a pattern of these infestations occurring approximately every decade. While no recent violations have been recorded since 2021, the repeated nature of heating issues and the access problems during inspections suggest ongoing maintenance challenges at the property.
