1344 49th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The 4-story, 3-unit residential building at 1344 49th Street in Borough Park, owned by Joseph Perlman and constructed in 2003, has experienced several significant events over the past five years that warrant attention. Most notably, in January 2022, the building faced multiple serious maintenance issues including heat and hot water outages affecting the entire building, followed by plumbing problems with the water supply.

While inspections confirmed these issues were eventually resolved, they indicate potential problems with the building's essential systems. More recently, in May 2024, a violation was recorded regarding a loose hand railing at the public hall stairs on the first story, which was certified for correction in June 2024.

The building has shown consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements in recent years, with no reported infestations in the last three reporting periods (2023-2024, 2022-2023, and 2021-2022). However, looking back at historical violations from 2021-2024, there were multiple bedbug-related violations requiring the owner to file annual reports, and gas leak procedure notice violations in 2018 and 2020, though these were subsequently closed. The combination of heat/hot water system issues in 2022 and the recent hand railing concern in 2024 suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, though the lack of new violations or service requests in the past year could indicate improved maintenance practices.
