2850 West 16th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11224

The two-family house at 2850 West 16th Street in Coney Island, owned by Abdul Amar, has experienced several notable maintenance issues since 2020. Most recently, in July 2024, the property had multiple emergency complaints relating to water leaks, mold, pests, and ceiling issues, though no violations were ultimately issued according to HPD inspections.

The building has a concerning pattern of heat and hot water complaints, with five such incidents reported between 2020-2022, including one for the entire building in March 2022 that required an emergency response, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. The property has also faced various maintenance challenges over the years, including unsatisfactory conditions in apartments related to windows and safety features.

In January 2019, multiple violations were documented for Apartment 2, including issues with window glass clarity, window stool conditions, and the need for proper carbon monoxide detectors. An emergency safety complaint was filed in July 2019 regarding a broken window guard, and while the building has passed several rodent inspections (December 2021, March 2016, and December 2015), there was one instance of rat activity in October 2015. Despite these numerous complaints and violations over the years, it's worth noting that most recent HPD inspections have not resulted in any new violations being issued, though multiple complaints were received in July 2024.
