979 Cleveland Street, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The three-story, two-family house at 979 Cleveland Street in East New York, owned by Frank Tehrani, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues over the past years, with the most significant cluster of violations occurring in January 2018. During that inspection, multiple Class B and C violations were documented in the first-floor Apartment 1, including serious problems with electrical wiring, heat supply, hot water availability, and various plumbing fixtures.

Specific issues included exposed electrical wires, inadequate heating system, defective water closet in the bathroom, and unsafe electrical service to fixtures throughout the apartment. The building also experienced rodent control challenges in 2016, failing inspections in both July and August of that year, though it had passed a rodent inspection in July 2012. Several other maintenance issues were identified in 2018, including a defective front door lock, loose light fixtures, and problems with the kitchen gas range and ceiling fixtures, all of which were classified as violations under the New York City Administrative Code.

While all the identified violations from the 2018 inspection are listed as "Close," indicating they have been addressed, and there have been no recent violations reported in the available data, the concentration of issues in both 2016 and 2018 raises some concerns about the building's historical maintenance record. The building, constructed in 1998, is now approximately 27 years old, and the documented violations suggest there were significant habitability and safety concerns in both 2016 and 2018, particularly affecting Apartment 1 on the first floor. It should be noted that the most recent data available only goes up until October 2023, and any subsequent inspections or violations recorded between that date and July 2025 would not be reflected in this report.
