526 Dahill Road, Brooklyn, NY 11218

526 Dahill Road is a 4-story, 20-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1922 and currently owned by Jack Zimmer. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues in 2025, particularly related to water problems, with multiple complaints about water leaks - including heavy flow and slow leaks - in May 2025, as well as an indoor sewage complaint in May 2025 that did not result in any violations. The building underwent significant scrutiny in late 2024, with multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations issued in December 2024 regarding door closures, window frames, and other safety features.

Specifically, violations were noted for the self-closing doors and latches at fire doors leading to the north yard, as well as issues with a self-closing door in Apartment B3. Earlier in 2025, the building faced various maintenance challenges, including pest infestations (with violations issued), ceiling paint/plaster problems, and a heat/hot water complaint affecting the entire building in March 2025. Apartment C5, which was inspected in November 2024, had multiple documented issues including problems with bathroom tiles, kitchen sink connections, water leak sources, and infestation concerns.

While the building has demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements in recent years, showing no reported infestations since 2022, it has faced periodic pest issues as indicated by multiple service requests in 2025. Historical records show the building passed rodent inspections in 2012 and 2013, but these inspections were over a decade ago. The property has a history of maintenance violations, with most recent ones from 2024 being properly closed after corrections were made, but the frequency of recent water-related complaints in 2025 suggests ongoing plumbing infrastructure challenges.
