2856 West 16th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11224
As of April 2025, 2856 West 16th Street in Coney Island, a three-story two-family building constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Abdul Amar, has experienced recurring maintenance and safety issues. Most recent complaints from April 2025 involve unsanitary conditions including mold and pests, as well as safety concerns with carbon monoxide detectors, though the HPD inspections varied in their findings regarding violations.
The building has faced significant heat and hot water issues since late 2024, with multiple complaints received from December 2024 showing inadequate service. From October 2024, the property has several open House Maintenance Code violations originating from a single apartment (1F), including issues with hot water supply, mold, bathroom conditions, and various maintenance problems. The building's structural integrity has been a major concern, with two serious structural-related complaints filed in April 2023 regarding building shaking and structural stability, for which an emergency violation was issued.
There are active ECB violations from October 2023 related to failure to comply with orders to submit an engineer's report concerning structural deficiencies, with penalties totaling $5,000. Prior to these structural issues, the building had documented rodent activity, particularly in 2022 and 2021, though it passed several inspections during that period. While some issues have been resolved, including certain exterior wall problems from 2023, the building continues to experience various maintenance challenges affecting resident comfort and safety.
