1244 79th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11228
1244 79th Street is a two-story, three-unit residential building in Dyker Heights, built in 1920 and currently owned by Margaret Ranieri. The building has experienced recurring issues with heating and water supply between late 2022 and mid-2023, with multiple emergency complaints filed regarding heat/hot water and plumbing problems. Notably, there were three separate heat/hot water complaints in late 2022 (October, November, December) and several plumbing complaints in October 2022, including issues with water supply systems and basin/sink problems.
These complaints were officially closed after HPD verification of corrections, though some required multiple follow-ups. The building has also faced several maintenance violations that were addressed between 2022 and 2024. In 2022-2023, issues included defective self-closing doors in common areas, missing electrical cover plates, and water supply problems that affected multiple units.
An inspection in June 2023 resulted in several Class A violations requiring improved safety notices regarding carbon monoxide detection and gas leak procedures. More recent regulatory compliance matters include a 2024 violation for failure to file the annual bedbug report, though subsequent filings indicate no infestation issues, with the most recent report (May 2025) showing zero infested units. The building's management has generally responded to violations, as indicated by the "certified" status of many notices, though some complaints noted difficulties in gaining access for inspections.
