1755 East 13th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11229

1755 East 13th Street in Sheepshead Bay is a 59-unit, 6-story Class A apartment building constructed in 1940, currently owned by Marc Abraham. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water over the past two years, with multiple documented complaints from December 2023 through February 2025, though HPD inspections typically found that services had been restored by the time of inspection.

The property underwent significant elevator-related incidents in early 2024, with violations issued for inoperative phone, dirty ropes, misaligned mirror, and potential shaft failure risks, though some complaints showed no violations upon inspection. Several violations were also documented in 2023 regarding building safety systems, including the need to maintain proper signage for gas leak procedures and smoke detector requirements, along with issues relating to self-closing doors in compactor closets. The building has maintained a strong record of pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations in the annual reporting period from 2021 to 2025, and passed rodent inspections in 2018, 2021, and 2023.

Housing maintenance code violations have been consistently addressed, with most recent violations from December 2024 related to self-closing doors being properly repaired or replaced. The elevator system has been a recurring focus of regulatory attention, particularly in 2024, with multiple complaints and violations regarding its operation and maintenance, including a "Cease Use" order due to safety concerns, though many violations have been subsequently resolved or dismissed through proper inspections and repairs. The building has also maintained compliance with annual bedbug reporting requirements, consistently showing zero infested or eradicated units in recent years.
