800 Avenue H, Brooklyn, NY 11230

At 800 Avenue H in Midwood, this 67-unit, 6-story building constructed in 1938 has experienced significant maintenance challenges in recent years, particularly regarding its heating system. In 2025 alone, there were multiple complaints about heat and hot water issues, with reports spanning from February to April indicating problems affecting either individual apartments or the entire building. While some of these complaints were resolved promptly, they highlight an ongoing concern with building systems.

The property has also faced various other maintenance challenges, including pest issues (with complaints in January and February 2025), and multiple paint/plaster complaints in early 2025 affecting radiators, windows, and doors, though no violations were ultimately issued for these. The building's elevator systems have been a recurring source of issues, with numerous complaints documented between 2022 and 2024 regarding single device operation and no alternate service, though most were resolved or resulted in violations being served. A series of violations related to building safety features, including self-closing doors and fire door requirements, were issued in 2024 and subsequently addressed.

The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no confirmed infestations reported since 2019, and successfully passed rodent inspections in recent years (2021-2024). Multiple Department of Buildings violations remain active as of October 2023, including failures to file required inspection reports for building systems such as the external low pressure inspection, boiler inspection, and FISP Cycle 8C Technical Report. These unresolved violations, along with the recent heating system issues, suggest ongoing challenges with building maintenance and systems management under the current ownership.
