1855 East 12th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11229

1855 East 12th Street is a 6-story, 87-unit residential building in Sheepshead Bay, constructed in 1963 and currently owned by Nyesha Sanford. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over recent years, with five separate complaints about building-wide heat and hot water problems recorded between 2021 and 2025, including multiple incidents in early 2025. While these complaints were generally resolved, they indicate persistent building system challenges.

The building has also faced indoor air quality concerns, with a chemical vapors incident reported in 2023, and ventilation system access issues noted in 2021. A 2024 Department of Health inspection of the swimming pool found no standing water that would support mosquito breeding. The building's compliance history shows some administrative violations, including a 2022 citation for failing to file an energy benchmarking report, though this was dismissed upon confirmation of submission.

Routine inspections (2024) and Local Law compliance checks (2025) found no violations. The property has maintained an exemplary bedbug record, with three consecutive annual reports (2021-2023) showing zero infestation, eradication, or re-infestation cases. While there have been several emergency and non-emergency complaints filed through 311, most have been successfully resolved, though one heat/hot water complaint in January 2025 was closed without inspection access being granted. The building's violation history shows most prior issues have been resolved, with the last significant violations dating back to 2019-2020 being dismissed based on subsequent inspections showing corrections.
