60 Quentin Road, Brooklyn, NY 11223

The three-story, six-unit residential building at 60 Quentin Road in Gravesend, owned by Nicholas Kafantaris and constructed in 1931, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years, particularly regarding heat and hot water systems. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water complaints since 2020, with emergency complaints recorded in December 2020 and September 2023, suggesting ongoing problems with the building's heating infrastructure.

The most recent service request from July 2024 involves plumbing issues with the bathtub/shower, while September 2023 saw complaints regarding both heating systems and appliances (electric/gas range), though in several cases, HPD was unable to gain access to inspect the reported issues. The building currently has multiple open violations as of September 2024, including deficiencies in posting required safety notices and certificates. These violations range from missing notices about carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detector requirements, and gas leak procedures, to a lack of proper signage regarding building registration numbers and bedbug reporting requirements.

Additionally, there are specific open violations related to apartment 3R, including issues with hot water supply and carbon monoxide detection equipment. While the Department of Buildings investigated curb cut complaints in 2021, no violations were found at the time of inspection. The building's maintenance history, particularly regarding heating systems, suggests ongoing challenges with building infrastructure, while the recent pattern of violations regarding safety notices and documentation indicates potential lapses in building management practices.
