1081 Stanley Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The two-family house at 1081 Stanley Avenue in East New York, owned by Aron Halern, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in late 2023. In September 2023, the building faced multiple emergency complaints including heavy water leaks, electrical wiring issues, paint/plaster problems, and heat/hot water concerns, though inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) found no violations in these cases.

Between November 2019, there were two separate emergency heat/hot water complaints, one of which involved the inspectors being unable to access the apartment for verification. More recently, in July 2024, a construction-related lead dust complaint was filed with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) and remains in progress as of July 2025.

The building's records also show two notable inspection attempts related to potential safety concerns, including an illegal conversion complaint in January 2024 and a gas utility referral in July 2022, though in both cases, inspectors were unable to gain access for verification purposes. Despite these various complaints and inspections, a consistent pattern emerges where many complaints are filed as emergencies but often result in no violations being found, particularly during the 2023 cluster of complaints. The building's history shows relatively few complaints for a two-family dwelling of its age (built in 2006), with most issues appearing to concentrate around heat/hot water systems and general maintenance problems.
