933 39th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The three-story, five-unit building at 933 39th Street in Borough Park, owned by Tsuiwah Chan and constructed in 1901, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, the property has faced recurring water leak problems, with three separate complaints in October 2024 ranging from slow leaks to heavy flow conditions, and the building experienced electrical issues with outlets and switches in both 2024 and earlier in 2024.

Apartment 2R has been the focal point of multiple violations as of October 2023, including concerns about high hot water temperatures exceeding 130 degrees, defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and pest infestations involving roaches and mice. Multiple safety-related violations were issued including two Class A violations found in October 2024 regarding required safety notices for housing information and gas leak procedures.

The building has a documented history of various maintenance issues requiring attention, including flooring repairs and heat/hot water complaints, though some of these were resolved through inspections. While there have been recurring issues with electrical systems and water leaks, it's noteworthy that the building has maintained an active bedbug prevention program, with no reported infestations in recent reporting periods from 2019 through 2024. The property has faced challenges with inspection access, as evidenced by multiple instances where HPD inspectors were unable to complete their inspections, most recently in response to water leak complaints in October 2024.
