450 East 34th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203

450 East 34th Street, a 6-story, 64-unit building owned by Tefik Capani and constructed in 1965, has experienced recurring maintenance challenges in recent years. Most notably, there has been an ongoing pattern of heat and hot water issues affecting the entire building, with multiple complaints filed between January and February 2025, suggesting concerns about the building's heating infrastructure. The building has also faced moisture-related challenges, with mold complaints reported in February 2025 and August 2023, though some HPD inspections found no violations related to this issue.

During 2023, several significant maintenance problems were documented, particularly in Apartment 4G on the 4th floor, including identified pest infestations (mice and roaches), defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and various door issues, all of which were subsequently resolved with violations being certified as corrected. The building's compliance history shows some areas of concern regarding safety systems and building maintenance. In September 2023, violations were issued for various building systems that required attention, including fire safety concerns in the public hall on the 1st story.

The property has had three active DOB violations related to the FISP Cycle 8B and 9B technical report filings, which are currently unresolved, though some previous violations related to this requirement from 2018 and 2021 were dismissed. The elevator system has been a subject of complaints in 2020 and 2022, but inspections did not warrant any violations. Notably, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestation reports, with zero cases documented in the past five years.
