958 Utica Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11203
The 5-unit, 3-story New Law tenement building at 958 Utica Avenue in East Flatbush, currently owned by Lydia Bailey, has experienced recurring heating system problems over the past several years. Most recently, between December 2024 and January 2025, there were three emergency heat/hot water complaints for the entire building, with HPD unable to gain access for inspection in all cases. This follows a pattern of heating system issues, with similar complaints documented in March 2023, and multiple instances between 2020 to 2022 where tenants reported restored heat/water after HPD intervention.
The building has also generated several emergency complaints regarding fire safety, particularly in March 2022, when violations were noted concerning obstructed fire escape access due to air conditioner units, flower pots, and household items on the second and third-story balconies. Additional building maintenance history reveals various violations and repairs over the years, including a 2022 inspection noting multiple issues with encumbrances obstructing fire escape egress, a 2022 bedbug reporting violation, and a 2018 water leak incident that required HPD intervention. Recent bedbug reporting records from 2021 through 2025 consistently show no infestation cases, with all records indicating zero infested units or re-infestations.
The most recent bedbug report, filed in May 2025, covers the period from November 2023 to October 2024, confirming the building's continued compliance with bedbug reporting requirements. The building's violation history shows both resolved and open issues, including a 2022 Class B violation regarding a defective self-closing door at the first-story vestibule, though many past violations from 2018 related to fire safety and building maintenance have been properly closed out. The property has consistently demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2020, with the most recent three filings showing no evidence of infestation during their respective reporting periods.
