135 Avenue P, Brooklyn, NY 11204

The six-story, 65-unit building at 135 Avenue P in Bensonhurst, owned by 135 Ave P LLC and constructed in 1931, has experienced persistent heat and hot water issues in recent years, particularly during the winter months. Most notably, in December 2024, multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding building-wide heat and hot water outages, with several subsequent complaints following a similar pattern throughout late 2024 and late 2022.

While these issues were generally resolved upon inspection, they indicate an ongoing maintenance challenge. Additionally, December 2024 brought violations related to self-closing door mechanisms at building entrances and fifth-floor fire doors, though some of these were subsequently certified as corrected.

The building's recent history also shows a concentration of violations and complaints between 2019-2021, including safety-related issues such as improperly secured construction scaffolding (resulting in penalties), blocked fire escapes from balconies, and various maintenance problems in individual units (notably in apartments B4 and C9). While a rodent inspection from 2011 noted some failure in compliance, more recent bedbug reports from 2019 to 2024 have shown no infestations, suggesting effective pest control measures. The building's environmental control board violations from 2019 regarding safety links on scaffolding were resolved, and the property has maintained a record of timely bedbug reporting with no active infestations in the past four reporting periods.
