9000 Shore Road, Brooklyn, NY 11209

**Building Report: 9000 Shore Road (Fort Hamilton)** 9000 Shore Road is a 14-story, 558-unit residential building constructed in 1977, currently owned by Nathan Taft. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout 2023-2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed between January and February 2025, affecting both apartments and the entire building. Notably, in December 2023, an inspection identified scalding hot water exceeding 130°F at a hot water fixture in apartment 7L, along with several other maintenance issues in that unit, including mold around the bathtub, a defective washbasin, and problems with bathroom tiles and door closures.

The building has faced significant facade-related concerns, with a Cycle 9B unsafe report filed in February 2023 and multiple construction-related violations in July 2023, including issues with scaffolding and safety measures, resulting in fines. Bedbug reports show periodic infestations over the past four years, with the most recent report (2024-2025) indicating two units affected. The property's maintenance history includes multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations and complaints, particularly regarding heating systems, with inspections often unable to access apartments for verification.

Building safety inspections in 2023-2024 revealed various issues, including problems with exit passageways, flooring hazards, and the need for facade repairs. While some violations have been resolved, including those related to bedbug reporting and certain maintenance issues, several remain open or were dismissed without penalty. Recent permits issued (in 2020-2021) suggest ongoing maintenance and repair work, particularly related to exterior and facade-related concerns. The building's management has shown mixed responsiveness to violations and complaints, with some issues being addressed promptly while others remain problematic, particularly concerning heating system reliability and facade safety measures.
