2513 Cortelyou Road, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The two-family house at 2513 Cortelyou Road in Flatbush, owned by Allister Paul, has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water availability throughout 2023, with four documented complaints between August and December 2023. These incidents affected both individual apartments and the entire building, though in each case, Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the reported conditions.

An immediate plumbing emergency related to water supply was reported and investigated in late November 2023, though no violations were issued. The building's inspection history reveals patterns of access issues, with both HPD and Department of Buildings inspectors unable to conduct necessary evaluations on multiple occasions in 2022 and 2023, including two final attempts noted in late 2022.

There was also an Oath Violation served in May 2022, which was recorded as resolved in October 2023. The property, constructed in 1901 and comprising two stories, has been subject to these repeated service requests and housing code complaints, primarily focused on essential services such as heat, hot water, and plumbing systems, which are critical to resident comfort and safety.
