1084 38th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 1084 38th Street in Borough Park, built in 1931, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over the past few years. Most notably, there are multiple unresolved maintenance concerns as of 2025, including an active Department of Buildings violation from June 2023 regarding failure to file 2020 external low-pressure inspection records. The building has also been subject to several inspections related to illegal conversion concerns between 2022 and 2023, though in some cases inspectors were unable to gain access.

A cluster of service requests from December 2023 related to ceiling paint/plaster issues and water leaks went unresolved due to inspection access issues. Between April and May 2023, multiple inspections revealed various maintenance issues, including plumbing problems with bathtubs/showers and sinks, though most of these complaints were closed without violations. Recent reports from early 2025 indicate ongoing pest issues, with multiple unsanitary condition complaints related to pests.

The building's current owner, Guan Quan Shi, has faced several enforcement challenges, including a notation for "unlicensed/illegal/improper work" with a partial stop work order issued in June 2025. The property has a history of maintenance concerns requiring attention to various building systems including windows, doors, and fire safety equipment, particularly regarding violations noted in Apartment 2F in May 2023. While bedbug reports from 2022 and 2025 show no infestations during their respective reporting periods, the building's overall maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep and compliance with housing regulations.
