249 East 37th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203
249 East 37th Street is a 6-story, 53-unit residential building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Mursel Kabakci. The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water problems throughout 2025, with multiple complaints filed between February and May 2025 affecting both individual apartments and the entire building.
Approximately 10 heat/hot water-related complaints have been documented in 2025 alone, with some remaining open as of the latest reports. The building has also received attention for potential lead paint issues, with open violations from October 2024 for apartments 6F and 6G regarding compliance with lead-based paint hazard control requirements. Historical records from 2019-2020 show significant violations related to unauthorized occupancy and work without proper permits, particularly concerning basement facilities including laundromat equipment and additional bathroom facilities, though these violations have since been resolved.
The building's elevator system has been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints about single-device service and no alternate service recorded between 2020 and 2024. More recently, there have been three open lead paint violations from August 2024 regarding failure to provide required documentation, in addition to multiple heating system issues. Notably, the building has maintained a clean record for pest control, with no bedbug or significant rodent issues reported in recent years, though there were some compliance failures noted in 2018-2019 inspections.
