151 89th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11209

151 89th Street is a 4-story, 16-unit residential building constructed in 1928 and owned by John Ingravallo, located in Fort Hamilton. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with the most significant cluster of complaints occurring between December 2023 and March 2024, involving multiple reports of door problems and slow water leaks, though no violations were found during HPD inspections. Prior to this, the building faced a series of heat and hot water issues in early 2022, affecting the entire building, with multiple complaints filed between January 28 and February 5 that year, all of which were eventually resolved.

An electrical problem regarding lighting was reported and closed in March 2020. The building's violation history shows some concerning patterns, particularly in late 2018 when violations were issued to Apartment B4 for pest issues (cockroaches), missing smoke detector and carbon monoxide detecting devices, and door-related matters, though all were certified as corrected by December 2018. A locked heating system access issue in the cellar was noted in January 2018, along with a heating adequacy problem in Apartment A3.

The building's maintenance record has shown some improvement in recent years, with no recorded bedbug infestations since at least 2019, based on consistent reporting showing zero infested units, and the most recent bedbug report from December 2024 confirming no infestations during the reporting period. Two complaints about potential unauthorized work were filed in March 2020, but inspections did not confirm any violations. While the property has experienced periodic maintenance challenges, particularly regarding plumbing and heating systems, recent records suggest improved compliance with key health and safety requirements, though the building's age and history of maintenance issues warrant attention to ongoing upkeep.
