1245 Brooklyn Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The two-family house at 1245 Brooklyn Avenue in East Flatbush, owned by Leah Bloom, has experienced ongoing maintenance issues over the past year, with particular concerns regarding heating systems. Between October 2024 and February 2025, there were eight separate complaints related to inadequate heat and hot water, with multiple violations issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

These complaints, which affected both the entire building and individual apartments, reached a peak in December 2024 when multiple complaints were filed, indicating a significant and persistent problem with the building's heating systems. The situation culminated in an October 2024 complaint about a defective boiler, resulting in an Oath Violation being served.

More recently, in May 2025, the building faced complaints regarding unsanitary conditions and issues with an electric/gas range, which were both investigated by HPD, with violations issued for the pest problem while the range complaint was found to have no housing law violations. The frequency and nature of these complaints suggest ongoing maintenance challenges within the building, particularly regarding heating systems, which appear to have been a recurring issue over several months. The owner's response time to violations is governed by law, which generally provides them with a designated period to address the identified issues before further legal action can be pursued by tenants.
