1332 41st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11218

The 6-unit, 3-story residential building at 1332 41st Street in Borough Park, owned by Michael Bixi, has been experiencing ongoing maintenance issues since at least 2021. Most notably, there is a persistent failure to file required annual bedbug reports, with violations dating from 2021 through 2024 remaining open.

The building has multiple active Department of Buildings violations as of June 2023, related to the failure to file external low-pressure inspections for the years 2018 through 2022, as well as a boiler inspection violation from 2017. In August 2022, the building experienced a cluster of plumbing and maintenance issues, including problems with the toilet, sink, bathtub/shower, and a slow water leak, along with ceiling plaster concerns. All these complaints were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), though no violations were issued and the cases were subsequently closed.

A rodent inspection conducted in May 2017 passed. The building's most pressing current issues appear to be the multiple open violations regarding bedbug reporting and the backlog of unfiled low-pressure inspections from 2018 to 2022, which could indicate ongoing regulatory compliance challenges. While the plumbing issues from 2022 were addressed (albeit without violations being issued), the pattern of recurring maintenance violations suggests potential challenges in maintaining building systems and meeting regulatory requirements.
