9050 Ft Hamilton Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11209

The 5-unit, 3-story residential building at 9050 Fort Hamilton Parkway, owned by Gaetano Fontana, has experienced persistent heat and safety-related issues since its construction in 1927. Most notably, there have been two significant heat/hot water emergencies reported in January 2019 and January 2022, with the 2022 incident resulting in an HPD inspection that could not gain access to the apartments.

In January 2019, multiple serious safety violations were documented in apartment 3F, including inadequate heating system performance, missing window guards, and absent smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, though these violations were subsequently closed after correction in February 2019. The building has also been subject to HMC violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements in 2019, 2021, and 2022, though recent bedbug reports for 2022-2024 indicate no infestations or reinfestations.

Additional historical violations from 2019 include the need to post gas leak emergency procedures and maintain proper building registration signage. While the building's most recent bedbug reports (2021-2024) show no infestation issues, the recurring heat system problems and various safety violations over the years suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has been inspected and documented for bedbug reporting compliance regularly since 2019, with no confirmed infestations during the most recent reporting periods.
