1765 West 1st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11223

The 3-story, 6-unit residential building at 1765 West 1st Street in Gravesend, owned by Xheladin Veliu, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past few years. Most recently, in November 2024, there was a heat/hot water complaint that required intervention from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). This pattern of heating system problems has been persistent, with multiple complaints recorded between February and March 2021 affecting both individual apartments and the entire building.

While many of these incidents were eventually resolved, they highlight an ongoing concern with the building's heating system. The property has several active violations that require attention, including a 2024 violation for failure to file the 2023 External Low Pressure Inspection. There are also open violations from 2021 related to access to the heating system and a vehicle obstructing the fire escape drop ladder.

Previous issues included high hot water temperatures in Apartment 3F and problems with the apartment's heating system. Safety equipment violations were recorded in January 2021, including missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in Apartment 3F, though these were subsequently resolved. The building has maintained a consistent record of submitting bedbug reports, with no reported infestations or cases of re-infestation over multiple reporting periods from 2019 through 2024.
