1311 Avenue K, Brooklyn, NY 11230
The 4-story, 38-unit residential building at 1311 Avenue K in Midwood, owned by Leah Berkovits, has experienced numerous maintenance issues since early 2024, with particular concerns regarding heat and water systems. Between November 2024 and May 2025, there were multiple complaints about heat and hot water outages affecting the entire building, with violations issued by HPD. The building has also faced significant pest control challenges, including bedbug infestations reported in multiple units each year from 2020 through 2025, with the most recent report (December 2024) documenting 2 infested units and one re-infested unit.
Safety concerns include recurring issues with fire escape access and egress pathways, as evidenced by multiple ECB violations related to obstruction of fire escapes and exit passageways. Recent complaints and violations in 2025 have focused on building maintenance issues, including problems with paint/plaster on walls and ceilings, water leaks, and various urgent maintenance needs documented through Housing Maintenance Code complaints in June 2025. The building has a documented history of rodent control challenges, with failed inspections in December 2024 and January 2025. Previous violations include inadequate heating in multiple apartments (November 2024), and various maintenance issues in apartment 2F identified during a December 2024 inspection, including mold, pest infestations, and bathroom repair needs.
The building's management has faced challenges with compliance, as evidenced by some violations being classified as "failed to comply" or "no violation warranted" in inspections, though many violations have ultimately been resolved through subsequent correction notices or inspections. The property has a history of regulatory scrutiny, with recent complaints in 2024-2025 regarding illegal conversions and work without permits, though these complaints were ultimately dismissed or found to warrant no violations. Environmental Control Board violations have been issued for obstructed fire escapes and other safety concerns, resulting in monetary penalties. The building's age (constructed in 1923) and classification as a New Law Tenement contribute to its complex regulatory and maintenance history, requiring adherence to various city housing preservation laws and building codes.
