1224 78th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11228

The two-family house at 1224 78th Street in Dyker Heights, owned by Dominick Polimeni, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent months. In August 2024, multiple complaints were filed regarding heat and hot water issues affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, along with concerns about cooking gas and an electric/gas range appliance problem.

While the heat and hot water issues were reportedly resolved within days, the building's department of housing preservation and development (HPD) inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the other complaints, resulting in their closure with a recommendation to file new complaints if problems persisted. Looking back to 2020, the building was subject to three separate complaints regarding potential illegal commercial use and unlicensed work, all filed on March 18, 2020.

Two of these complaints concerned illegal commercial/manufacturing use in a residential zone, with one being marked for inspection with a disposition of "No Violation Warranted For Complaint At Time Of Inspection." The third complaint regarding unlicensed/im improper work required two inspection attempts, but inspectors were ultimately unable to gain access to the property. While these historical complaints don't directly relate to the building's current conditions, they provide context to the property's inspection and compliance history, which appears to have more recent issues primarily centered around heating, water, and gas systems.
