1873 Haring Street, Brooklyn, NY 11229

The two-family house at 1873 Haring Street in Sheepshead Bay, owned by Christine Kim, has a significant record of maintenance issues, particularly during the latter half of 2018. The building experienced multiple simultaneous problems in October-November 2018, including unsanitary conditions with reported mold and pest infestations, heating system failures, plumbing issues (affecting both toilet and sink facilities), electrical concerns regarding lighting, and various door/window problems. Several of these complaints resulted in issued violations, particularly focusing on a broken window guard and plumbing issues, though the heat and hot water issues reportedly resolved themselves.

The property has also been noted for multiple safety concerns, including the aforementioned broken window guard and various structural maintenance needs. More recently, in July 2019, significant violations were recorded regarding unauthorized alterations to the property, including the installation of a bathroom and kitchen in the basement area without proper permits, effectively converting it into an illegal separate apartment. This situation prompted concerns about occupancy violations affecting the building's compliance with its Certificate of Occupancy.

The Department of Buildings and Environmental Control Board noted these violations, though they were ultimately resolved with no penalties imposed. A subsequent complaint in April 2019 regarding building permit issues was inspected with no violations found. As of July 2025, while the extensive violations from 2018-2019 provide insight into previous maintenance challenges, current conditions are not directly documented in the available data up to October 2023.
