946 42nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219

946 42nd Street is a 16-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building constructed in 1918 and currently owned by Boro Park Courts Associates L.P. This property has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues, with seven documented complaints between late 2022 and late 2024, including three duplicate complaints in December 2024. The building has also faced multiple maintenance challenges, including a water leak in early 2023, flooring issues, and various apartment-specific problems.

Apartment 1A has had several documented violations, including the need for repairs to electrical outlets, carbon monoxide detectors, floor tiles, and ceiling surfaces between 2021 and 2023. The building's safety systems have come under scrutiny, with violations recorded for obstructed fire escape egress and non-self-closing doors in 2022-2023. Recent inspections and violation records indicate some positive developments, as most violations were certified as corrected by 2023-2024, including issues related to pests in apartment 1D (noted in December 2022).

The Department of Buildings has no active violations on record since mid-2022, though there were past concerns regarding elevator maintenance and plumbing issues. Notably, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with zero reported cases in the past five years (2020-2025), and passed a rodent inspection in February 2017. While many past violations have been resolved, the pattern of heating system complaints suggests ongoing challenges with building systems, particularly during the winter months.
