1686 East 19th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11229
The 7-story, 10-unit building at 1686 East 19th Street in Sheepshead Bay, owned by Steve Zeltser, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent months. Most notably, in December 2024, an emergency mold situation and multiple water leaks were reported and subsequently closed. A December inspection revealed multiple open Housing Maintenance Code violations primarily affecting apartment 6A, including missing carbon monoxide detectors, non-compliance with smoke detector requirements, visible mold in bathroom areas, water leak issues, and various problems with wall surfaces and plastering.
The building currently has an active violation for failing to file the required FISP Cycle 9C Technical Report by the February 2024 deadline. The building's violation history shows a pattern of maintenance issues, with multiple water-related problems documented in late 2024 and 2024-2023. Earlier inspections and complaints included a 2024 complaint about illegal hotel rooms that could not be investigated due to access issues, and a 2021 zoning complaint that found no violations upon inspection.
The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations since 2020, with no reported cases in the past five reporting periods. Rodent inspections conducted in late 2011 showed failures for unspecified reasons, but these appear to be pre-dating the building's current ownership and operation period. While the building's age (constructed in 2012) suggests modern construction standards, the recent increase in moisture-related complaints and current violations indicate ongoing maintenance challenges.
