42 East 57th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203
This two-story, three-unit building at 42 East 57th Street in East Flatbush, owned by Janelle.l Alexander, has been subject to recurring housing maintenance code violations over the past four years. Most notably, there is a persistent issue regarding the filing of annual bedbug reports, with open violations recorded in 2021, 2022, 2023, and most recently in April 2024, indicating non-compliance with HPD regulations despite multiple notifications.
The building, which was constructed in 1920 and is now classified as a converted Class A dwelling, also experienced a mechanical issue in early 2024 related to its boiler system. A complaint was filed on January 22, 2024, regarding a defective or inoperative boiler, though this complaint was marked as closed within a week when inspectors were unable to gain access for their inspection despite multiple attempts.
The property's historical records show these ongoing challenges with regulatory compliance and maintenance issues, particularly regarding pest control reporting and heating infrastructure. While the building shows some effort to maintain records of annual bedbug reporting, the consistent pattern of violations suggests challenges in meeting this specific housing maintenance requirement. The boiler complaint, though resolved quickly through inspection, indicates some level of mechanical maintenance oversight.
