115 Rockaway Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The property at 115 Rockaway Parkway, owned by Yahya Almirhabi, is a 2-story, 4-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1930, located in Brownsville. The building has experienced persistent heating and hot water system issues throughout 2023, with four documented complaints in January, March, October, and most recently November, of varying scope between entire building and individual apartments.

The Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to gain access for inspection in several instances, though in some cases reported problems had been resolved by the time of inspection. The building also has a record of a significant water leak incident from October 2021 that went unresolved due to lack of access for inspection, which remained open until March 2022. The frequency and consistency of heat and hot water complaints in 2023, particularly during emergency conditions, is noteworthy, with four separate incidents documented between January and November.

While some complaints indicate issues were resolved, the pattern suggests ongoing concerns with the building's mechanical systems. The water leak incident from 2021, though older, represents another significant maintenance issue, indicating potential challenges with the building's infrastructure. The building's older age and documented maintenance history should be noted, particularly the concentration of heating system complaints in 2023, which constitute the majority of documented complaints in recent years.
