1025 45th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The 26-unit residential building at 1025 45th Street in Borough Park, owned by Yuk King Kwan, has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues over the past several years, with three documented complaints in 2024, 2022, and 2021. The property, built in 1923, has undergone several inspections revealing various safety concerns, including multiple violations regarding fire escape maintenance in 2021, when problems were noted with both fire escape drop ladders.

The building's fourth floor (Apartment 4D) had several violations in 2021 related to safety systems and conditions, including smoke detector issues, door requirements, fire escape access problems, lead paint concerns, and mold presence, though most of these were subsequently closed. More recently, the building has faced challenges with compliance to New York City's energy efficiency requirements, with active violations in 2023-2024 related to failure to file benchmarking reports and display energy scores.

There were also complaints in 2023 regarding potential illegal conversions, though inspectors were unable to gain access to investigate. The most recent bedbug reporting from 2025 indicates no infestations during the previous year, maintaining a consistent record of 0 infested units over the past four reporting periods. While the building has had several safety and maintenance issues requiring attention over the years, most historical violations appear to have been addressed and closed, though recent energy compliance matters remain pending resolution.
