81 Forbell Street, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The two-family house at 81 Forbell Street in Cypress Hills, owned by Obaed Ullah, has a mixed record of maintenance and resident issues since its construction in 1910. Most recently, in 2021, there was a heat and hot water emergency affecting the entire building, though this was resolved within a few days according to HPD records.

The building has faced multiple maintenance challenges, particularly in 2018, when several Housing Maintenance Code violations were documented in Apartment 1, including problems with plastered surfaces, leaking roof, faulty closet doors, and defective window sashes, all of which remain open as of this report's date. This same year saw multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions and pests, though HPD was unable to gain access for inspection in these instances.

The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene also investigated a rodent-related complaint in October 2018, and while the initial inspection result was marked as passed in November 2018 and subsequent rodent inspections in 2012 and 2018 also passed, these issues indicate previous concerns about pest control. An illegal conversion complaint was filed in October 2018 but was closed in January 2019 when inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. While some issues have been resolved over time, the persistence of certain violations, particularly those from 2018, suggests ongoing maintenance challenges within the building.
