1599 West 10th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11204

1599 West 10th Street is a 6-story, 60-unit apartment building constructed in 1934 and currently owned by David Kahn. The building has experienced persistent issues with heat and hot water systems, with three emergency complaints reported between 2024 and early 2025 that could not be properly investigated due to lack of access. In 2024, significant maintenance issues emerged from Apartment 5B, including multiple violations that required attention, such as window guard replacements, mold remediation in bathroom grout areas, and various door-related repairs.

The building's elevator system has been a recurring source of concern, with multiple complaints about single-device operation and no alternate service between 2018 and 2024, though inspections typically found no violations warranting fines. Recent inspections in 2024 resulted in two Class C violations being issued, relating to defective self-closing doors and electrical outlet safety caps in public areas. The property has undergone periodic bedbug and rodent inspections, with the most recent bedbug reports from 2022-2024 showing no active infestations or treatments required.

A rodent inspection in July 2022 passed compliance, while an initial inspection in June 2022 noted rat activity. Environmental Control Board records indicate a safety-related elevator restrictor violation in 2018 that was resolved with a $1,250 penalty. The building's maintenance history shows a mix of resolved and ongoing issues, with recent violations primarily focusing on safety and maintenance standards rather than critical structural concerns. While many complaints have been investigated and closed without violation findings, the pattern of heat/hot water issues and elevator service concerns suggests ongoing maintenance challenges affecting resident comfort and convenience.
