1270 East 19th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11230

The 77-unit, 6-story building at 1270 East 19th Street in Midwood, owned by Angelo Dimaggio, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in 2024 and early 2025. Most notably, there was a concerning pattern of heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building between October 2024 and November 2024, with multiple emergency complaints filed through both 311 and HPD. An inspection in November 2024 did reveal one notable violation regarding inadequate gas supply to kitchen fixtures in apartment 4F, though this was certified as corrected by January 2025.

The building also experienced a fire incident in August 2024 affecting apartment 3F, with associated violations for fire damage and window repairs, though these were later closed. The property has shown ongoing elevator-related concerns, with multiple complaints filed between 2018 and 2024, particularly regarding multiple devices and no alternate service. While recent inspections in 2025 found no violations at the time of inspection, the frequency of complaints suggests this remains an area requiring monitoring. While there have been some issues with unsanitary conditions, including reports of pests and mold in 2024, most of these complaints were either not verified through inspection or closed without violations being issued.

It's worth noting that the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported occurrences in the last several years, except for one isolated incident in 2018 which was promptly resolved. Recent activity includes a health department investigation into smoking in smoke-free areas in early 2025, though the resolution details indicate further inquiry may be required for full clarification. The most recent violations from 2024 include issues with fire escape rust that remains under open violation status, and some outstanding questions regarding building maintenance standards. Historical data shows a pattern of addressing violations, with many being dismissed based on subsequent inspections showing corrections, though there are currently several active violations from 2019 and 2021 still showing as open in the system.
