1620 East 12th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11229
1620 East 12th Street is a 16-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building constructed in 1925, currently owned by Thomas Verdiglione, located in Sheepshead Bay. The property has experienced several recurring maintenance issues, with the most recent cluster of complaints in July 2024 revealing violations related to ceiling paint/plaster, lighting, water leaks, and pest control. Notably, a significant set of violations was documented in July 2024 in apartment 1B, including defective light fixtures, smoke detector issues, water leaks, plaster damage, and pest infestation.
The building has persistent water-related problems, as evidenced by multiple water leak complaints in both 2024 and 2023, and violations related to ceiling damage. Safety concerns include violations for defective smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors in 1B, though bedbug reports consistently show no infestations from 2019 through 2025. The building has two active Department of Buildings violations from June 2023 regarding failure to file the 2018 external low-pressure inspection, and two violations from November 2019 for not filing the 2017 boiler inspection report.
A structural stability complaint was filed in May 2022 but resulted in no violations. Despite these ongoing issues, the property has shown some responsiveness to repairs, with multiple violations being certified as corrected, including several from the July 2024 inspection. The building's history indicates continuing challenges with building systems and maintenance, particularly regarding water damage, lighting, and pest control, though there have been no reported bedbug infestations in recent years.
