371 87th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11209

The 16-unit, 4-story tenement building at 371 87th Street in Fort Hamilton, owned by Kalliopi Notias and constructed in 1924, has experienced recurring heating and hot water system issues throughout 2023 and 2024, with multiple emergency complaints documented between June 2023 and January 2025. The most recent cluster of heating-related complaints occurred in January 2025, including both building-wide and apartment-specific issues.

In addition to the heating problems, the building has faced other significant maintenance challenges, including electrical issues (with a no-lighting complaint in December 2024), door problems (a door-related complaint in October 2024), and a series of rodent control measures requiring bait application from July 2024 through January 2025. A November 2024 inspection revealed multiple open violations requiring attention, including safety concerns such as a missing push bar on the 4th-floor bulkhead door, a missing lock device at the 1st-floor entrance door, and a missing smoke detector in apartment 3B.

The building also requires updates to various safety postings and maintenance of light-colored wall paint throughout all stories, as well as providing adequate electrical service to ceiling fixtures. While past heating and maintenance issues have sometimes resolved quickly with tenant confirmation, the recurring nature of these problems suggests ongoing infrastructure challenges. The building's most recent rodent inspections show regular bait application between March 2023 and January 2025, indicating an active approach to pest management, though these issues required consistent attention over an extended period.
