984 49th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The 6-story, 86-unit building at 984 49th Street in Borough Park, owned by Judy Bachman, has experienced numerous maintenance issues over the past two years (2023-2025) that warrant attention. Most recently, in July 2024, the building received two complaints regarding pest problems, and in June 2024, there were ventilation-related indoor air quality concerns. Earlier issues in 2024 included multiple reports of water leaks, ceiling problems, and ceiling mold, particularly affecting Apartment D7, which was documented with multiple violations in February 2024.

These violations included deficiencies in window guards, carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and the presence of lead-based paint hazards. The building has also faced ongoing challenges with water-related issues, as evidenced by multiple service requests in late 2023. From a systems perspective, the elevator has been the subject of numerous complaints between 2019 and 2022, with repeated issues regarding multiple devices, though inspections generally found no violations.

There are several outstanding Department of Buildings violations related to energy efficiency reporting that have remained open since 2022-2024, specifically concerning the submission of Energy Efficiency Reports (EER) and benchmarking data. The building's maintenance history suggests persistent challenges with basic infrastructure and systems, particularly regarding water management, pest control, and building safety systems. A rodent inspection conducted in December 2021 showed compliance, though recent pest complaints indicate potential reoccurrence of this issue. The property, built in 1928, is classified as a New Law Tenement and has experienced recurring maintenance issues consistent with its age and building type.
