1118 42nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219

1118 42nd Street is a three-story residential building in Borough Park, currently owned by Angelo Dolce and classified as a "Heretofore Converted Class A" property. The building has experienced several significant issues in recent years, most notably an emergency heat and hot water situation in December 2024 that affected the entire building, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. This was the most recent of multiple heat-related complaints, including a previous similar incident in February 2024.

The property has also faced ongoing regulatory compliance issues, with multiple open violations regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by Housing Maintenance Code since 2022. While previous bedbug report filings (for 2019-2020 and 2020-2021) indicated no infestations, the building's bedbug reporting compliance violations suggest potential oversight of these mandatory submissions. The building had no documented infestation or eradication incidents in its bedbug history from 2019 through 2021, and the 2022-2023 filings were not submitted in compliance with the required schedule.

The property's history shows a pattern of recurring heat and hot water service issues, with three documented complaints since 2022. While previous bedbug report filings indicated no infestation problems during the 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 periods, the building's recent history of regulatory non-compliance regarding bedbug reporting requirements suggests potential operational challenges in maintaining proper documentation and adherence to housing regulations. The most pressing current concern appears to be the building's heating system, given the recent complaints about inadequate heat and hot water service that prompted emergency investigations by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development.
