1721 Bath Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11214

1721 Bath Avenue is a three-story, two-family house built in 1925, currently owned by Hila Begator. The property has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, particularly evident during 2018-2019, with multiple emergency complaints filed through the Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) department. These complaints, while often marked as closed, indicate a persistent pattern of problems with basic utilities, including heat and hot water supply in both apartments.

The building has also faced significant maintenance challenges, particularly in 2019, with violations relating to mold, pests (specifically roaches), and water leaks in the second-floor apartment (Apartment 2). These violations, while some were eventually closed, suggest ongoing maintenance and habitability concerns. More recently, in 2024, there have been issues regarding boiler compliance, with complaints about defective or inoperative equipment and missing inspection reports.

The Department of Buildings issued multiple violations for failure to file external low-pressure boiler inspections between 2018 and 2023, indicating potential safety concerns regarding boiler maintenance and regulatory compliance. Two specific inspections in August 2024 relating to boiler complaints resulted in "No Violation Warranted" findings, but an Environmental Control Board violation was issued in September 2024 related to failure to file required annual boiler inspection reports, with a penalty imposed. The building's earlier history shows some attention to safety improvements, including a 2018 violation regarding self-closing doors to the building entrance and another in 2018-2019 concerning carbon monoxide detectors, both of which were subsequently addressed. The property's rodent inspection from 2010 passed, but there have been no more recent inspections on record for this specific issue.
