129 Gelston Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11209

The two-family residence at 129 Gelston Avenue in Fort Hamilton, owned by Jingyao Xie, has experienced several notable maintenance issues in July 2024 that warrant attention.

During a two-week period starting July 11, the building faced multiple problems including a power outage that was classified as an immediate emergency, wall plaster issues, and ceiling plaster concerns. This series of maintenance requests culminated in three separate complaints related to ceiling plaster problems, and one regarding pests, all received on July 25, 2024, though notably, no violations were issued following inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

While all of these complaints have since been closed, and some were categorized as non-emergency, the frequency and variety of issues during this brief period suggest a cluster of maintenance challenges in mid-2024, particularly related to interior finishes and electrical systems. The two-story, 1899 building appears to have experienced these issues across multiple areas, including walls and ceilings, though the resolution process was relatively swift with all complaints being addressed and closed within approximately two weeks of their reporting dates.
