10 East 42nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The two-family house at 10 East 42nd Street in East Flatbush, owned by Chana Zaklikowski and constructed in 1940, has experienced a series of maintenance issues over the past two years, with particular concentration in mid-2023. The most significant problems have been related to electrical systems, with multiple incidents documented between June 2023 and July 2024, including two power outages and ongoing lighting issues that required HPD intervention. June 2023 was a notably problematic month, with complaints regarding heat and hot water systems, window frame problems, and an electric/gas range issue that resulted in housing code violations.

Several complaints during this period, particularly concerning heat and hot water, were compounded by the inability of inspectors to gain access for proper evaluation. Additional maintenance concerns were documented in July 2023, including plumbing issues with water supply, pest problems, and window frame maintenance needs. The building's recent history indicates recurring challenges with essential services, particularly during the summer of 2023, when multiple emergencies were reported.

While most complaints have been resolved, with some being processed as emergency situations, the pattern of maintenance issues suggests ongoing challenges with building systems. The most recent documented complaints from July 2023 through May 2024 primarily involved electrical problems, including power outages and lighting issues that were not accompanied by violations upon inspection. Notably, there were also instances in June 2023 where inspectors were unable to access units to verify claims regarding heat and hot water systems. The building, representing the basic two-family structure typical of its era, has shown consistent use of city services to address various maintenance needs, though specific details on resolutions are limited to general outcomes of either "no violations issued" or "unable to gain access" for some complaints.
