724 Wortman Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

724 Wortman Avenue is a 2-family, 2-story residential building constructed in 1925 in East New York, currently owned by Eserdai Singh. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues, with the most recent concerns in early 2025 involving water supply problems that HPD attempted to inspect but could not complete. A cluster of complaints from February 2024, all closed without violations, included issues with an elevator door, refrigerator, cabinet, ceiling, bell/intercom system, sprinkler system, flooring, electrical outlets, and water leak.

More significant concerns were documented in 2019 when violations were issued for apartment 1B related to mold, defective plaster, and missing carbon monoxide detector. Between 2017-2018, the building faced environmental control board violations for failure to comply with correction orders related to construction work, resulting in penalties totaling $18,500, though these violations have since been resolved. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of various system failures and maintenance needs, particularly regarding water and electrical systems.

The Department of Buildings conducted an illegal conversion investigation in 2023 but could not complete the inspection due to access issues. While the property passed a rodent inspection in 2012, the recent cluster of maintenance issues suggests ongoing challenges with building systems. Unlike many similar buildings, there have been no documented heat or hot water complaints in recent years, though there was a heat/hot water emergency complaint in February 2024 that appears related to the building's overall systems rather than specific unit issues.
