974 45th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219
The building at 974 45th Street in Borough Park, owned by David Tauber, is a 39-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement constructed in 1926. The property has experienced ongoing issues with heating and hot water systems throughout 2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed between January and April 2025, including at least ten documented incidents of inadequate heat and hot water affecting both individual apartments and the entire building.
These complaints led to several HPD inspections, some of which found restored services during follow-up checks. The building's maintenance history from late 2024 reveals more serious concerns, including multiple violations in Apartment CC1 related to mold, carbon monoxide detectors, hot water supply, pest infestations, and various repair needs, all of which were subsequently closed.
The property has faced recurring scrutiny regarding possible illegal conversions and unauthorized use of space, with multiple complaints filed between 2018 and 2024, including an active complaint from December 2024 about an alleged illegal conversion and a 2024 violation concerning debris blocking the fire exit passageway. Two energy efficiency violations remain open from 2019 and 2021 related to benchmarking reports and score displays. While the building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements (showing no evidence of infestation in recent years), and passed rodent inspections in 2022, the persistent heating system issues and various maintenance violations suggest ongoing challenges with building infrastructure and resident comfort.
