261 East 31st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11226

This two-family house at 261 East 31st Street in East Flatbush, owned by Colleen Mcentee, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most concerning incidents occurring in early 2019. During the first quarter of 2019, there were three documented emergency complaints related to heating and electrical systems - specifically, reports of inadequate heat and hot water in January (partially resolved according to tenants), and similar complaints in March that could not be inspected due to lack of access.

The building was also subject to three complaints in 2022 regarding permit-related issues, though inspections conducted in September and July of that year found no violations or insufficient information to proceed. An illegal conversion complaint filed in January 2019 was investigated in April of the same year, but no violations were found at the time of inspection.

The property's documented issues suggest historical challenges with heating systems and electrical infrastructure, particularly evident in the 2019 complaints, though more recent records from 2022 indicate no significant violations were found during inspections. It's worth noting that the building's age (constructed in 1910) may contribute to these maintenance challenges, particularly regarding outdated electrical systems and heating infrastructure. The relatively limited number of complaints in recent years (only three in 2022) might suggest improved maintenance or fewer resident concerns, though the repeated access issues during inspections of heating systems in 2019 stand out as a notable pattern.
