1314 Sutter Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

1314 Sutter Avenue is a three-story, two-family residential building constructed in 1923 in East New York, currently owned by Grady Zellars. The property has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, most notably concerning heating and hot water systems. In late 2023, significant problems were reported with both heating and hot water supply in the third-floor apartment, resulting in housing violations.

The building also faced multiple issues in August 2023, including electrical problems (no lighting), plumbing concerns (toilet), and various maintenance issues related to flooring, doors, and water leaks, many of which were classified as emergency situations. While some of these complaints were resolved through HPD inspections, with violations being issued in some cases, the most critical issues relate to heating and hot water systems which have shown continued problems. Looking back through the building's history, there were maintenance concerns in December 2019 involving both plumbing (bathtub/shower and toilet) and electrical systems (electric/gas range), though these were ultimately resolved.

The property underwent some form of work in April 2019, as indicated by multiple permits issued during this period. A rodent inspection conducted in April 2012 resulted in a passing grade. The pattern of complaints suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly with basic systems such as heating, plumbing, and electrical infrastructure, with the most recent violations indicating inadequate heating and hot water supply in the third-floor unit.
