1035 38th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219

This three-story, three-unit old law tenement building located at 1035 38th Street in Borough Park was built in 1899 and is currently owned by Belinda Mercado. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple complaints filed between November 2019 and January 2020, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building.

While these complaints were closed, they indicate a pattern of heating system problems. More recently, there are open bedbug reporting violations from 2021 through 2024, suggesting ongoing compliance issues with the city's bedbug reporting requirements. The building underwent an inspection on January 2, 2020, which revealed several safety and maintenance concerns that were subsequently addressed, including the need to maintain smoke detector requirements, provide adequate heat throughout Apartment 3FLOOR, ensure access to the locked boiler room, and post carbon monoxide detector requirements.

During this inspection, the building was cited for missing registration information that should be displayed in the entrance area. While most of these violations were closed by January 14, 2020, the presence of open bedbug reporting violations over multiple years remains a notable concern. The building's age and history suggest that while some maintenance issues have been addressed, there are ongoing compliance challenges that require monitoring.
