1116 42nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The three-unit, three-story building at 1116 42nd Street in Borough Park, owned by Christina Cordero, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most significant being heat and hot water problems. Most recently, in March 2024, there was a heat/hot water complaint that could not be investigated due to lack of access.

Earlier incidents between October 2022 and April 2023 included multiple heat/hot water complaints, plumbing issues (radiator problems), a heavy water leak, and window frame concerns, though not all resulted in violations. The building has also accumulated several open violations as of April 2024, primarily related to safety and notification requirements, including the need to post various safety notices in the public areas regarding smoke detectors, gas leak procedures, and building registration information.

The third-floor apartment has specific violations related to window repairs and plastered surface maintenance, while the building's heating system requirements and bedbug reporting obligations are currently out of compliance. The bedbug report from May 2023 covering the period from November 2021 to October 2022 listed zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units, indicating no significant bedbug activity during that period. The building, constructed in 1920, is classified as a "Heretofore Converted Class A" property, suggesting it was converted to multiple dwellings from a single-family use at some point in its history.
