1671 West 3rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11223

The two-family residence at 1671 West 3rd Street in Gravesend, owned by Mike Kong, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in early 2025, particularly concerning heating and water systems. Between January and April 2025, there were multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water problems, with four separate incidents reported within a week in January alone.

Two of these heating complaints were confirmed through HPD inspections, although one was found not to violate housing laws, while another was addressed and reportedly corrected. Additionally, there was a plumbing issue related to water supply that occurred in January 2025, though an HPD inspector was unable to gain access to verify the problem. This situation remained unresolved for approximately three months before being closed in April 2025.

Looking at the building's history, there is one recorded permit from late 2018 for plumbing work (job number 300948722), which was issued and finalized in December of that year. The recent pattern of heating and plumbingrelated complaints suggests ongoing challenges with the building's maintenance systems. While some issues have been addressed, as indicated by closure of the complaints, there remains a notable cluster of heating-related problems that affected multiple units within a short timeframe at the beginning of 2025.
