1616 Beverley Road, Brooklyn, NY 11226

1616 Beverley Road is a 6-story, 36-unit New Law Tenement building located in the Flatbush neighborhood, built in 1939 and currently owned by David Polinsky. The building has experienced several recurring issues in recent years, with the most significant being persistent heating and hot water problems throughout 2025, including multiple emergency complaints between January and February 2025. While some of these complaints were investigated, access issues hindered proper inspections in several instances.

The building also deals with ongoing sanitation challenges, as evidenced by multiple complaints about garbage storage and rodent issues, with bait applications recorded throughout 2025. A notable cluster of violations occurred in 2023, particularly affecting Ground Floor Apartment 1D, which experienced infestations of mice, roaches, and visible mold in the bathroom, along with various structural issues including broken window moldings. The elevator system has been a particular area of concern, with multiple complaints and inspection reports noting maintenance issues and the absence of alternate service during outages.

The most recent Environmental Control Board violation from August 2024 resulted in a $625 penalty related to various elevator system deficiencies. While the building has shown compliance in recent bedbug reporting (showing no infested units from 2022-2024), the history of pest-related violations suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance. The property has had some issues with compliance requirements, including failure to file energy benchmarking reports in previous years, though some of these violations have been dismissed or resolved. The building's history shows a pattern of maintenance challenges, particularly regarding basic services like heat and water, along with periodic pest control issues.
