2820 West 19th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11224

The two-story, four-unit residential building at 2820 West 19th Street in Coney Island, owned by David Simon, has a documented history of maintenance issues requiring attention over recent years. Most concerning are two recent complaints in 2024 and 2025 related to heat/hot water and unsanitary conditions (pests), both of which were closed due to the Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) inspectors' inability to gain access to the apartments for inspection.

The building has also faced security and safety concerns, particularly in 2022, when violations were recorded regarding inadequate door security (missing locks and chains) and window guards in apartments 1R and 2R, along with electrical panel issues in the cellar. These violations, classified as A, B, and C, were subsequently closed with corrections made.

Earlier service requests include a door-related emergency in 2022, and there have been two complaints about work being done without permits in occupied multiple dwellings in 2021 and 2022, though no violations were found upon inspection. The building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent filings (2022-2024) showing zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units, indicating effective pest management. Despite the maintenance issues highlighted by the various service requests and violations, the property has shown responsiveness in addressing most issues once identified, though access problems have hindered inspections and resolutions in recent complaints.
