845 50th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

845 50th Street is a two-family house located in Borough Park, built in 1910 and currently owned by Qiao Yun Zheng. The property has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent months, particularly concerning heat and hot water systems.

In May 2025 alone, there were multiple emergency complaints about insufficient heat and hot water affecting both the entire building and individual apartments. The building also faced challenges with cooking gas systems during the same period, with some complaints being duplicates of others and resulting in violations being issued. Earlier in 2025, there were additional heat/hot water complaints in January, as well as issues with plumbing and sewage.

The building's history reveals ongoing concerns about unauthorized modifications, with three active illegal conversion complaints filed in 2023-2025, though inspection attempts were unsuccessful in each case. While some complaints have been resolved through inspections, such as a plumbing issue in May 2025 and a paint/plaster matter in January 2025 that showed no violations, the persistence of heating system problems suggests an ongoing maintenance challenge. The property has a documented pattern of access issues during inspections, with several complaints requiring multiple attempts to gain entry for verification, particularly regarding the heat and hot water systems.
