1340 East 9th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11230

1340 East 9th Street is a 6-story, 47-unit residential building in Midwood, built in 1931 and currently owned by Jacob Seidenfeld. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues in early 2025, with multiple complaints filed in January through March of that year, including several building-wide incidents that required HPD intervention. These heating system problems represent the most significant recent maintenance challenge.

The building has also faced several housing maintenance code violations, particularly in 2024, including issues with door self-closing mechanisms, compactor room conditions, and an incident of excessively hot water in an apartment (E8) recorded in December 2024. The elevator system has required attention, with a violation recorded in February 2024 citing multiple operational issues, though it was subsequently resolved. Past concerns about the basement laundry facilities were documented in 2021, including violations related to gas appliance safety and missing fire protection systems, though these were addressed and dismissed by August 2021.

The building's management has maintained regular bedbug reporting requirements, consistently showing zero infestation cases from 2020 through the most recent filing in December 2024. A rodent inspection conducted in January 2020 passed, indicating no current pest issues. While the building has experienced various maintenance challenges over the past few years, particularly related to heating systems and elevator functionality, many past violations have been addressed and resolved through proper channels.
