1319 41st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11218

The 6-unit, 3-story building at 1319 41st Street in Borough Park, owned by Ortegro Realty LLC, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past two years. Most recently, in February 2025, there were complaints about both a power outage and a lack of heat and hot water, though these issues were reportedly resolved quickly.

Throughout 2023-2024, there have been multiple plumbing-related complaints, including recurring toilet problems, and some concerning electrical issues, including outlet/switch problems and a 2023 power outage incident. Multiple inspections in 2024 revealed several violations, including safety concerns such as an uncapped gas valve in Kitchen 3F, illegal fastening locks on fire doors, and a lockable knob preventing entrance to a fire escape room, though many earlier complaints from 2023-2024 had no violations issued upon inspection.

The building has multiple active violations related to external low-pressure inspection failures between 2018-2023 and an unresolved environmental violation from December 2022 regarding partial obstruction of the third-floor hallway/corridor with bicycles and household items, which carries a $3,125 penalty. The property has also undergone various inspections and received notices for issues affecting safety protocols, such as the need to properly maintain fire-retardant materials in public areas and address paint requirements in hallways. While the building filed its bedbug report for the 2022-2023 period showing no infestations, the frequency and variety of maintenance issues reported through 311 calls and HPD complaints suggest ongoing challenges with building systems and safety compliance that require continued attention.
