503 Kings Highway, Brooklyn, NY 11223

The two-family residence at 503 Kings Highway in Gravesend, owned by Reuven Rotshtein, is a 2-story building constructed in 1931. In June 2023, the property experienced significant boiler-related issues that warrant attention.

On June 20, 2023, a complaint was filed regarding a defective or inoperative boiler system, which resulted in an Oath Violation being served the same day. This complaint was immediately followed by two Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations concerning the boiler system. The first violation cited concerns about an unsupported or incorrectly installed boiler expansion tank in the domestic water system, while the second violation detailed multiple issues including an improperly functioning manual reset aquastat on the return pipe, an unsupported expansion tank, and a missing air proving switch for the combustion fan that was required to be interlocked with both boilers.

Both ECB violations were resolved, and notably, no penalties were imposed or balances due on the violations. While the boiler issues from mid-2023 seem to have been addressed given their resolved status, the fact that multiple violations were documented on the same day regarding the boiler system's safety and functionality suggests there may have been previous maintenance oversight. However, there have been no reported building issues or violations related to the property in the year since these boiler problems were documented, indicating that the necessary corrections were made promptly following the inspections and violations.
