1848 East 12th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11229
The two-family house located at 1848 East 12th Street in Sheepshead Bay, built in 1920 and currently owned by Rafi Srougo, has experienced significant maintenance issues throughout 2023, particularly concerning heating and water systems. The building has documented multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water outages between January and May 2023, affecting both entire building and apartment-specific systems. These issues led to a violation being issued in January 2023 regarding inadequate heat supply and hot water problems in the second-floor apartment.
Additional maintenance concerns have been documented, including plumbing issues, unsanitary conditions (mold and pest infestations), electrical problems, and various repairs needed for walls and surfaces. Recent developments from late 2024 to early 2025 indicate more serious structural and compliance issues. There are multiple open violations from November 2024 concerning unpermitted alterations to the building's facade and structural elements, including the installation of steel beams and construction of a retaining wall.
These violations carry substantial penalties, including $12,500 for unauthorized facade work and $2,500 for tampering with a stop work order. The building is currently under a full vacate order due to these unpermitted structural modifications. Historical records show earlier maintenance challenges as well, including rodent inspections in 2018, where the building passed some inspections but failed others for unspecified reasons.
