839 East 19th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11230
The 40-unit, 4-story tenement at 839 East 19th Street, built in 1916 in Flatbush and currently owned by 1912 Avenue H LLC, has experienced significant heating system challenges in recent months. Between April 6 and April 20, 2025, there were nine separate complaints about heat and hot water issues affecting the entire building, with several inspections revealing that while heat and hot water had reportedly been restored, there were access issues to conduct full inspections.
The building had previously documented heating system concerns in December 2024, including violations regarding access to the boiler room. More recently, in May 2025, there was a documented rat sighting that resulted in a Department of Health and Mental Hygiene inspection, which found violations requiring follow-up inspections.
The building's recent history shows some improvement in other areas, as there have been no bedbug reports since 2024, and a pattern of passing rodent inspections was observed from September to November 2019, with only the most recent inspection showing activity. The property has a history of heating system violations dating back to late 2024, affecting multiple apartments (including 1E, 3D, and 4C) and involving issues with hot water access and missing or defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Despite these challenges, many of the older violations have been closed, indicating some level of compliance with housing maintenance codes.
