645 Alabama Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The two-story, four-unit tenement building at 645 Alabama Avenue in East New York, owned by Isaac Pasik and built in 1924, has experienced persistent maintenance issues in recent years, particularly regarding heating systems and general building upkeep. Most notably, there have been multiple complaints about inadequate heat and hot water (entire building) through 2025, with the most recent complaint in January 2025 resulting in violations being issued by HPD.

The building has also faced plumbing issues, including a significant complaint in March 2023 about unsanitary conditions and visible mold in Unit 2B's bathroom ceiling, which was eventually resolved. Recent inspection records from December 2023 show multiple open violations that require attention, including safety concerns such as a defective first-floor entrance door locking mechanism, broken vinyl tile flooring in the public hall, and electrical wiring issues. The building's recent history includes several concerning patterns: multiple failed HPD inspections due to lack of access in early 2025, unresolved violations regarding an illegal basement apartment with unauthorized gas appliances (active as of 2023), and structural concerns including a 2023 ECB violation noting problems with the parapet wall and facade cracks.

There have also been consistent heat/hot water complaints throughout 2024-2025, with emergency complaints being lodged in both January 2025 and December 2024. The property is currently facing open Class A violations related to bedbug report compliance, and there are multiple open violations from December 2023 regarding building entrance security, public hall maintenance, and egress obstruction. While some issues have been resolved over time, such as the mold problem in Unit 2B and certain violations from March 2023, the building's maintenance history shows recurring problems with heating systems, building security, and overall maintenance standards that have required multiple interventions from housing authorities.
