279 Quentin Road, Brooklyn, NY 11223

The 16-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building at 279 Quentin Road in Gravesend, owned by Quadeer Khan, has experienced persistent heat and hot water issues over recent years, with nine documented complaints from 2020 through 2025, including three in just the first quarter of 2025. Most recently in January 2025 and December 2024, HPD was unable to gain access to inspect the reported deficiencies.

The building has also faced several maintenance challenges, with current open violations as of December 2024 including water leaks, mold, and fire safety concerns in the first-story public hall. These violations encompass issues with the ceiling requiring repairs, evidence of water leaks, and the need to address a suspended acoustic ceiling system, along with an open bedbug reporting requirement from 2024.

Historical records show the building has had various problems requiring attention, including a significant ECB violation in September 2020 related to boiler and gas line safety issues that generated a penalty of $1,562, though this was subsequently resolved. The property also had garbage storage concerns in 2021 requiring HPD intervention, and there appears to be an ongoing investigation into potential illegal modifications, with an active complaint regarding illegal conversion from late 2024. The building's documented history suggests recurring challenges with basic services and building maintenance, particularly in terms of heating systems and compliance with housing maintenance codes, though many individual complaints have been resolved through required corrections or inspections.
