1224 39th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11218

The 4-story, 6-unit building at 1224 39th Street in Borough Park, owned by Zvi Ortner, was constructed in 2020 and has experienced several significant maintenance issues since its completion. Most recently, in late 2024, there were lighting issues reported and resolved, and earlier that year, pest problems were investigated but no violations were found. The building faced serious heat and hot water system failures in November 2023, though HPD was unable to gain access to inspect the complaints.

Additionally, there were two power outages in June 2023 that required emergency responses, though no violations were issued following inspections. The building's records reveal several infrastructure and safety concerns during its construction phase in 2019-2021, including multiple stop work orders that were eventually rescinded. These included issues with temporary lighting, safety measures, and construction compliance that resulted in various fines.

More recently, the building has faced regulatory scrutiny for failing to post several required safety and emergency procedure notices in common areas, though these violations have since been marked as closed. A bedbug report for 2021-2022 indicated no infestations during that period. While the building has had various maintenance issues, most have been addressed promptly, though there have been instances of inspection access difficulties and the most recent electrical and heating concerns suggest some ongoing infrastructure challenges.
