1664 41st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11218

The three-story, 12-unit residential building at 1664 41st Street in Borough Park, built in 1930 and owned by Yaakov Meiri, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, particularly concerning essential services like water supply and heating. Most recently, in early 2024, multiple plumbing-related complaints regarding water supply were logged, with HPD inspections confirming the issues affected the entire building, though no violations were issued.

These followed a pattern of similar concerns, including an unstated number of complaints in January 2024 that were identified as duplicate filings. The building has a documented history of heating and hot water problems, with five separate emergency complaints filed between 2020 and 2022.

These included instances of both entire-building and apartment-specific outages, though in several cases inspectors were unable to gain access for examination. Additional maintenance issues have been reported, including a sanitation-related sewage complaint in 2020 that also encountered access difficulties during inspection, and plumbing issues involving a bathtub/shower in 2019, along with garbage/recycling storage concerns. While HPD and Housing Maintenance Code inspections have generally closed these complaints without issuing violations, the recurring nature of heating, hot water, and plumbing problems over multiple years suggests persistent infrastructure challenges within the building.
