1776 East 13th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11229

1776 East 13th Street is a 6-story, 65-unit apartment building located in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, and was built in 1937. The building has experienced persistent heating and hot water issues throughout 2025, with multiple complaints filed between January and April 2025, though inspections generally found that systems had been restored before inspections could be completed. The building received significant attention from city agencies in late 2024 regarding various maintenance and safety concerns.

These included three emergency violations in December 2024 for failure to maintain a code-compliant building, with specific reference to an obstructed fire escape on the right side. Prior to that, in the fall of 2024, violations were documented for an infestation of roaches in apartment 2G, defective self-closing doors, and several safety concerns in common areas including problematic entrance doors, smoke detectors, and carbon monoxide detectors. The building's elevator system has been a recurring issue, with multiple complaints between July 2024 and early 2025, though inspections typically found no violations at the time of review.

A potential structural concern was raised in December 2023 regarding building vibration, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the issue. Notably, the building has maintained a clean record for pest control, with no bedbug reports filed since 2020, and passed a rodent inspection in 2014. The current owner, Moshe Landau, has been in possession of the building during this time period.
