1147 71st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11228

The two-story, three-unit residential building at 1147 71st Street in Dyker Heights, owned by Lisa Cordiale and constructed in 1920 as a New Law Tenement, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, in early 2025, there were multiple safety concerns related to smoke and carbon monoxide detectors that went unresolved due to an inability to gain access for inspection.

Other recurring maintenance issues from this period include problems with windows (panes and frames), electrical outlets/switches, wall conditions (paint/plaster), and a bell/buzzer/intercom system, all of which were also left unaddressed due to similar access issues. Prior to this, an October 2024 inspection revealed various violations in apartment 2F, including problems with the carbon monoxide detector, water supply, gas range, and a roach infestation, though most of these violations were certified as corrected by late 2024.

The building has also faced structural and safety concerns, including an ongoing violation regarding ready access to the heating system in the cellar/boiler room from late 2024. Recent complaints suggest possible illegal conversion issues and gas utility concerns, though these inspections were marked as "Inspector Unable To Gain Access" in both cases. Despite these issues, the building has maintained a clean record concerning bedbug infestations over the past five years, with no reports of infested units in any of the annual filings from 2020 through 2025.
