105 Avenue P, Brooklyn, NY 11204

The six-story, 42-unit building at 105 Avenue P in Bensonhurst, owned by Sami Duraku and constructed in 1935, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there was a pattern of heat and hot water problems at the beginning of 2025, with multiple emergency complaints received between January 7-8, including some relating to the entire building. The building has also faced recurring electrical issues, with three separate complaints in June 2025 concerning wiring, outlets, and an electric range, though inspections found no housing law violations in these cases.

Marked safety concerns emerged in late 2024 with multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations discovered between June and December, particularly regarding self-closing doors and latch sets in compactor closets, though most violations were subsequently closed. The building's rodent control history shows a mix of passed and failed inspections, with the most recent one passing in December 2024, though previous inspections in 2024-2023 failed for various reasons. Additionally, there have been three separate bedbug incidents reported between 2022 and 2024, with the latest in late 2024 showing one unit affected.

The property has experienced some concerning infrastructure issues, including a building shaking complaint in 2023 and an illegal commercial use complaint in 2021, though both were investigated without resulting in confirmed violations. Historical records show periodic issues with building maintenance compliance, including two instances of failure to file energy use benchmarking reports in 2019, though these violations were ultimately dismissed. The building has maintained some compliance, as evidenced by various violations being resolved or closed, including issues with the compactor closet doors, hallway flooring, and bathroom tiles in apartment 3G. The Department of Buildings and Housing Preservation and Development have conducted multiple inspections over the years, with varying outcomes regarding access and compliance, indicating ongoing communication between management and regulatory agencies.
