1930 West 13th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11223

The two-family residential building at 1930 West 13th Street in Gravesend, owned by Maoping Liu, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues since 2020, with the most significant problems occurring in 2022. Noteworthy concerns include repeated heating and hot water problems, with multiple complaints in late 2020 and early 2021 where access for inspection was denied, as well as plumbing issues with sink basins and window frame problems in 2021-2022.

A major inspection in April 2022 revealed multiple violations in Apartment 2, including lead paint hazards, water damage affecting ceiling in one room, various electrical lighting issues in public hallways, and problems with radiator valves and plaster surfaces. The building also had pest-related concerns in July 2020 resulting in violations.

The property has undergone various inspections and service requests, with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and other agencies finding both violations and non-violations depending on the issue. While many of the complaints have been closed, including some recent in 2024 inspections that found no violations, the building's history shows recurring issues with heating systems, plumbing, and general maintenance that have required multiple interventions. The most recent significant inspection occurred in March 2024, which resulted in no violations being found at the time of inspection, suggesting some improvements may have been made to address previous concerns.
