1353 41st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11218

The property at 1353 41st Street in Borough Park, owned by Antony Pinkesz, is a 2-story, 4-unit building constructed in 1931 classified as a New Law Tenement. The building has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent months, with multiple complaints in 2024 regarding heat and hot water systems, including two emergency complaints in August 2024. The New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) conducted inspections in July 2024 that resulted in multiple violations, including issues with paint and plaster on walls and ceilings, safety concerns regarding smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and reports of pest infestations.

More recently, in August 2024, violations were issued regarding building entrance door latches and waste collection signage. The building has also faced structural concerns, particularly in 2023, with complaints regarding building vibration and stability, leading to a partial vacate order in March 2024. An environmental control board violation issued in September 2023 noted serious façade disrepair above the first-floor window, with concerns about potential collapse.

Current open violations from August 2024 include issues with a broken entrance door latch, floor tiles, and missing safety devices in apartment 1F, including smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. While there have been no reported bedbug infestations in recent inspections, the building continues to have multiple active violations requiring attention. The property received permits in 2021 for unspecified work, and while some previous violations from 2022-2023 have been resolved, numerous current violations remain open as of October 2023.
