1115 63rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The 38-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building at 1115 63rd Street in Borough Park, owned by Mary Haviaras and constructed in 1926, has experienced significant heating system challenges in recent months. Between March and April 2024, there were multiple complaints and service requests regarding heat and hot water issues, with at least five emergency complaints filed for the entire building and several others for individual apartments. While some of these complaints were closed after inspections, others resulted in violations, including an April 2024 inspection revealing locked access to the heating system door in the public hall on the first story, for which a Class C violation was issued and later certified as corrected.

The building currently has several open violations as of April 2024, including two related to Apartment A9 on the second story concerning a broken window counterbalance and a defective safety latch at the fire escape window. Other ongoing violations from 2024 involve issues with encumbrances in public areas on the second and fourth stories, though recent inspections from late 2023 had shown these encumbrances were removed. A bedbug report covering 2023-2024 showed no infestations in the building during this period, and while there was a DOB violation issued in December 2024 regarding failure to display energy efficiency information, this was later dismissed in January 2025.

The building's heating and hot water system has been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints and violations related to both individual apartments and building-wide conditions. While some issues have been addressed and certified as corrected, the pattern of complaints suggests ongoing attention is required for building-wide systems. The property has maintained a clean record regarding pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported in recent years. Recent DOB requirements for energy efficiency reporting were minimally impacted, with the violation ultimately dismissed.
