802 Kings Highway, Brooklyn, NY 11223

The 38-unit, 4-story tenement building at 802 Kings Highway in Sheepshead Bay, owned by Jack Gora and built in 1922, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past 12 months (as of July 2025). The most pressing concerns relate to water and hot water systems, with numerous complaints in early 2025 about heat and hot water outages affecting the entire building, though inspections typically confirmed restoration of service. A slow water leak complaint in March 2025 resulted in violations being issued.

The building currently has several open violations from December 2024 inspections that require attention: these include issues with the building entrance door latches, self-closing doors, and problems with smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector installations in apartments C8 and D11. There are also concerns about locked access to the building's heating system in the basement, and multiple complaints about hot water provision in apartment D11. The building's maintenance history shows some positive aspects as well, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past four years (2019-2025) and passing rodent inspections in 2017 and 2018.

A violation related to energy benchmarking reporting was dismissed in 2023. While there have been multiple service requests regarding paint and plaster issues in mid-2025, these inspections did not result in any violations being issued. The property has shown a pattern of heating system-related issues, particularly evident in the clustering of heat/hot water complaints during early 2025, suggesting ongoing challenges with the building's climate control systems.
