855 Troy Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The two-family house at 855 Troy Avenue in East Flatbush, owned by Sepehr Elyassian, has a documented history of recurring heat and hot water issues over the past several years, with the most recent incident occurring in March 2022 when the entire building experienced heat and hot water outages. This pattern of problems began in 2018, when multiple complaints were filed regarding temperature inconsistencies, including dangerously high water temperatures exceeding 144°F, and fluctuating temperatures in the second-story bathroom.

These issues were serious enough to warrant emergency classification in multiple instances, though inspections often encountered access issues, with violations remaining open as of late 2023. The building's maintenance history also reveals concerns about janitorial and building superintendence between 2018 and 2019, though inspections during this period generally found no violations, except for one instance in May 2019 where access could not be gained for inspection purposes.

An illegal conversion complaint was filed in May 2019, but inspectors were unable to gain access during their attempts to investigate this matter as well. As of now, while there have been no documented complaints or violations since 2022, the persistence of heat and hot water problems over several years suggests potential ongoing maintenance challenges within the building's infrastructure.
