124 Cortelyou Road, Brooklyn, NY 11218

The three-story, six-unit building at 124 Cortelyou Road in Kensington, owned by Mohammad Ghuman and constructed in 1930, has experienced several noteworthy maintenance issues in recent months, particularly concerning heating systems and interior conditions. Most prominently, there have been multiple heat and hot water complaints in early 2025, including an entire-building emergency call in February 2025, along with three similar incidents between January and February 2025, though inspections generally found these conditions did not violate housing laws.

The building also experienced significant maintenance issues in late 2024, with violations documented during a December 30, 2024 inspection in apartment 2F, including carbon monoxide detector problems, pest infestations (roaches and mice), and various door and plaster issues, though most of these violations were subsequently closed. Additional maintenance requests from late 2024 through early 2025 have included concerns about walls, ceilings, and general cabinet conditions.

The building has a mixed historical record regarding pest control, with regular bedbug reporting since 2021 showing no infested units or eradication needs in the past three reporting periods (2021-2022, 2022-2023, and 2023-2024), though there were documented rodent issues in December 2024. While the building has experienced recurring heating system problems, particularly in early 2025, inspections have often found conditions to be non-violative, suggesting that while these issues are persistent, they may not consistently reach violation thresholds. The building's maintenance history shows a variety of issues requiring attention, with most recent violations showing prompt attention and closure, though some concerns about door functionality and heating systems persist as of early 2025.
