648 Logan Street, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The three-story, six-unit New Law tenement building at 648 Logan Street in East New York, owned by Edwin Verasami and built in 1930, has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues in recent years. The most pressing concerns include recurring heating and hot water issues, with the latest complaint filed in March 2025 marking an emergency situation that HPD could not verify due to access issues.

The building has multiple open violations from 2024 related to self-closing doors that are defective or missing in various areas, including the south court, boiler room, and roof access, which are critical for maintaining building safety. A concerning pattern of plumbing issues is evident, with multiple complaints in early 2025 regarding steam pipes, radiators, and water leaks, some of which HPD was unable to inspect due to access problems. The property has a documented history of sanitary concerns, including mold and pest problems reported in January 2025, though no violations were issued following HPD inspections.

Previous issues from 2022 in the third-floor apartment unit (3F) included the need for window guard installation, defective vinyl tiles in the kitchen, and a rodent infestation, all of which were addressed following inspection. Interestingly, the building's bedbug reporting history from 2022 to the present shows consistent reports of zero infested units, suggesting effective pest management in this regard. While some individual complaints have been resolved, the combination of access issues during inspections and the persistence of certain problems, particularly regarding doors and heating systems, indicates ongoing maintenance challenges at this property.
