1764 West 1st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11223

This 4-unit, 2-story New Law Tenement building located at 1764 West 1st Street in Gravesend, owned by Josephine Mannino, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there was a heat and hot water emergency situation affecting the entire building in March 2023, though this was reportedly resolved. The building has also faced multiple maintenance challenges in 2023, including wall and ceiling plaster issues, a slow water leak, and unsanitary conditions including mold, with the most recent mold complaint filed in April 2024.

The building's common areas have been subject to various code violations, including improper fire retardant material repair in the first-story public hall, excessive use of electrical extension cords, and encumbrances such as ladders and plaster buckets. Safety-related violations include the need to post proper carbon monoxide detection requirements and gas leak procedures in the building. The building has experienced periodic pest management challenges, with confirmed bedbug infestations in two units during the 2022-2023 reporting period, though these were reported as eradicated.

Rodent inspections conducted in 2021 and 2024 both passed, suggesting some stability in pest control efforts. While many of the complaints and violations have been addressed and closed, there remain some open violations as of the latest inspections, particularly regarding painting requirements in the public hall. The building's history shows a pattern of maintenance issues typical of older brownstone-style buildings, with most problems being addressed through official inspection processes despite the recurring nature of some complaints.
