233 27th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11214

The two-family house at 233 27th Avenue in Gravesend, owned by Rita Oliveri, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over the past few years, with particular challenges related to basic utilities. The building, constructed in 1965, has documented multiple "no lighting" and electrical problems between late 2020 and early 2021, including a power outage in March 2021, with all these complaints being investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), though no violations were issued.

There were also significant concerns regarding heat and hot water during this period, with two separate complaints in November and December 2020 when HPD was unable to access the apartments for inspection. An array of other maintenance issues was reported in December 2020, including problems with an electric/gas range and various electrical outlets or switches.

While all these complaints were officially closed by HPD, it's notable that many were marked as "Apartment Only" or related to specific units, suggesting not all building systems were affected. The range of issues experienced during this period, particularly the combination of electrical and heating system problems, indicates there were significant challenges with basic building systems around late 2020 through early 2021. However, there are no documented complaints or violations on record since March 2021, which may suggest that these issues have either been resolved or that fewer problems have been reported in recent years, up to the current date of July 2025.
