5621 Kings Highway, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The two-family residential building at 5621 Kings Highway in East Flatbush, owned by Milton Lewis, has experienced recurring issues with water supply and heating systems over the past few years. Most notably, in March 2023, there were multiple emergency complaints regarding both individual apartment and building-wide heat and hot water issues, as well as water supply problems, some of which were verified as resolved while others required additional follow-up. A similar building-wide heating issue was reported in March 2022.

The property has also faced ongoing concerns regarding plumbing systems, with multiple water supply complaints recorded in both 2022 and 2023. In terms of maintenance violations, there have been several instances requiring the filing of annual bedbug reports between 2021 and 2024, with the most recent report for the period ending October 2023 indicating no current infestations. The only physical maintenance violation on record was from April 2022, related to a missing radiator shut-off valve in the first-floor apartment, which was subsequently addressed.

The building has undergone various inspections and complaint evaluations by multiple city agencies, including the Department of Buildings, which recorded several complaints in 2020 regarding construction-related issues and adjacent building protections, though no violations were substantiated upon inspection. A construction lead dust complaint from July 2020 remains in progress as of the last available data. The property has maintained some positive indicators, including a passed rodent inspection in March 2020, and while there have been numerous heating and plumbing issues, most recent complaints show appropriate response and resolution by housing authorities. The building's age (constructed in 1950) and ongoing maintenance requirements are consistent with typical challenges faced by older NYC residential properties.
