1137 63rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The 4-story, 38-unit tenement building at 1137 63rd Street in Borough Park, owned by Kostas Paxis and constructed in 1926, has experienced ongoing issues with its heating and hot water systems. Between October 2024 and February 2025, there were five emergency complaints regarding no heat or hot water in the entire building, with one complaint remaining open as of November 2024. The building has also faced several maintenance challenges, including pest infestations, unsanitary conditions in garbage storage areas, and appliance issues (refrigerator and electric/gas range problems) between October 2024 and February 2025.

In October 2024, multiple violations were issued concerning Apartment B19, including problems with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and a roach infestation that was later certified as corrected in November 2024. There are also two open violations from October 2024 regarding unauthorized alterations to wall panels and ceiling materials in Apartment B19. The building's management has consistently failed to comply with energy efficiency requirements, with multiple active violations dating back to 2019 for not displaying energy scores and failing to file required benchmarking reports.

Additionally, there were two unsuccessful attempts to access the property for boiler inspections in December 2022. Despite these issues, the building has maintained a clean record in recent bedbug reporting periods (2022-2025), showing no infestations. Two rodent inspections from 2016 resulted in failed compliance for unspecified reasons, though more recent rodent inspections have not been reported.
