2825 West 37th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11224

The three-story, three-unit building at 2825 West 37th Street in Coney Island, owned by Tamir Kovach and constructed in 1920 as a New Law Tenement, has experienced recurring significant issues with its heating and hot water systems, particularly during the late 2024-early 2025 winter season. Between November 29, 2024, and December 22, 2024, there were at least eight emergency complaints regarding lack of heat or hot water affecting the entire building, with multiple complaints indicating HPD's difficulty accessing units for inspection.

While some complaints were eventually marked as resolved upon confirmation of restored services, the pattern suggests ongoing infrastructure challenges. The building has also accumulated several open Housing Maintenance Code violations as of December 2024, primarily affecting the third-floor apartment (Unit 3), including issues with a defective smoke detector, malfunctioning self-closing door hinges, and inadequate heating supply.

Common area problems documented during a December 1, 2024 inspection include a leaking roof in the third-story public hall, damaged fire-retardant plaster on the ceiling and west wall, and multiple maintenance requirements regarding the building's signage and certificate of inspection display near mailboxes on the first story. Additional violations include the need for repairs to defective vinyl floor tiles. Notably, the building had successfully passed rodent inspections as of June 2015, indicating previous pest control compliance.
