2729 West 16th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11224
The two-family building at 2729 West 16th Street in Coney Island, owned by Monachan Mathai, has experienced numerous maintenance issues over the past several years, with the most pressing concerns emerging in 2023 and 2024. Most recently, in December 2024, there were multiple emergency violations related to heat/hot water, electric wiring, plumbing issues, and unsanitary conditions including mold and pests. These followed earlier significant problems in 2023, particularly affecting the second-floor apartment, such as heat/hot water issues, electrical supply problems, and the need for repairs to safety devices including smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors.
The building has also been cited for various maintenance violations in 2023, including issues with self-closing doors and broken ceramic wall tiles. Looking further back, the property has a history of multiple unresolved maintenance issues dating from October 2022, when numerous complaints were filed regarding water leaks, electrical wiring, flooring, and mold problems, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify these conditions at that time. An environmental control board violation was issued in December 2024 regarding vertical cracks in the stucco facade, with a penalty imposed of $6,250. All of these recent infractions suggest ongoing challenges with building maintenance and safety systems.
While the property previously passed rodent inspections in 2011, 2017, and 2018, there have been recent concerns about pests as evidenced by the December 2024 complaint. In terms of structural and safety systems, the building has experienced recurring issues with essential services including heat, hot water, and electrical systems. The Department of Buildings is currently investigating a potentially illegal curb cut/driveway situation as of June 2025. The building's documented history indicates a pattern of maintenance issues requiring ongoing attention, particularly concerning basic services and safety systems, with many current violations remaining open as of the latest inspections.
