1228 49th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219
The 42-unit, 6-story building at 1228 49th Street in Borough Park, constructed in 1939 and currently owned by Jack Janklowicz, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, in 2022, Apartment 4B was found to have multiple violations including defective carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, electrical issues, broken plaster and paint surfaces, and pest infestation (mice).
While many of these violations were later closed following repairs, a 2024 inspection revealed a new violation regarding the failure to file 2023 external low pressure inspection records, though this was subsequently dismissed in December 2024. In September 2020, the building faced multiple safety-related violations including issues with carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and electrical wiring.
More recent complaints from June 2025 suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, with reports of problems including electrical outlets, door issues, pest concerns, appliance problems, paint issues, and defective smoke detectors. The building has also had three inspection attempts regarding illegal conversion (2023), work without permit (2022), and gas utility concerns (2022), though inspectors were unable to gain access in these cases. On a positive note, the building has maintained a consistent record of zero bedbug infestations over the past eight reporting periods from 2018-2025, indicating successful pest management in this regard.
