1045 65th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The 4-story, 17-unit tenement building at 1045 65th Street in Borough Park, owned by George Curis and constructed in 1931, has exhibited recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, with the most significant being a pattern of heat and hot water outages affecting the entire building. Between 2023 and 2024, there were seven documented emergency complaints regarding heat/hot water problems, including a recent complaint in October 2024 that HPD could not verify due to access issues.

The building has also experienced electrical problems, notably a power outage in August 2023 that resulted in violations, and multiple safety concerns were identified during inspections in 2023 related to public hall lighting on all floors, which were subsequently resolved. The property has maintained a consistent record of being bedbug-free, with all annual reports since 2020 showing zero infested units. Other notable maintenance issues included a water leak and various interior maintenance needs documented in 2020, as well as violations regarding door security and self-closing mechanisms identified in mid-2023.

More recently, in March 2024, an open violation was noted concerning inadequate gas supply to kitchen fixtures in apartment B4. Despite these issues, there have been no reported instances of infestation or significant health hazards. The building's management has generally addressed violations when cited, as evidenced by the closure of several Housing Maintenance Code violations throughout 2023 and 2024, though some recent complaints remain open or were not verified due to access issues.
