The 96-unit, 6-story building at 1350 East 5th Street in Midwood, owned by David Maundrell and constructed in 1956, has experienced persistent heating and hot water issues over the past year. From October 2024 to December 2024, there were multiple complaints regarding lack of heat and hot water affecting the entire building, with several incidents resulting in HPD inspections, violations, and an emergency violation issued in October 2024 for inadequate hot water service in apartment 2K. The building's elevator system has also been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints about single device operation and no alternate service between 2020 and 2025.
Significant elevator violations remain active from 2021, including issues with door lock monitoring and various safety features. Additional building maintenance problems have been documented, including a period of bedbug and cockroach infestations in 2021 (apartment 5F) and missing safety devices in apartment 2K identified in late 2024. The building's recent history shows continued concerns with both basic services and safety equipment. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water problems throughout 2024, with tenants frequently unable to provide access for inspections.
The elevator has been the subject of numerous complaints, with the most recent open complaints regarding single device operation and no alternate service filed in June 2025. Regulatory violations related to elevator safety features and maintenance practices continue to be documented, with significant penalties imposed. The building's bedbug reporting history shows varying levels of infestation, with one documented case in the most recent reporting period (2023-2024), though earlier periods showed more widespread issues. Safety equipment violations identified in October 2024 for carbon monoxide and smoke detectors in apartment 2K, while subsequently certified as corrected, indicate ongoing maintenance challenges.
