116 Avenue S, Brooklyn, NY 11223
116 Avenue S in Gravesend is a 4-story, 12-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1931, currently owned by James Dimitriades. The property has experienced recurring issues with building-wide heat and hot water problems, most recently reported in January 2024, when multiple emergency complaints were filed and violations were issued. The building has also faced significant maintenance challenges, including pest infestations (with violations documented in March and August 2023), plumbing problems affecting bathtub/showers, and unsanitary conditions.
During 2024, multiple violations were issued for Apartment 2, including inadequate heat supply, hot water temperature issues, and missing safety devices such as smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. The building's safety record shows concerning patterns, including a 2024 violation for defective self-closing doors in the first-story entrance and a 2023 violation regarding flooring issues. Historical complaints from 2019 revealed problems with egress obstructions, while an illegal conversion complaint from 2022 regarding a cellar apartment was closed due to inability to gain access.
The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs since 2019, with no reported infestations. However, recent rodent inspections in 2024 and 2025 documented rat activity, indicating ongoing pest control challenges. In 2019, a violation was issued for obstructed exit passageways, and a 2019 boiler inspection violation was dismissed in 2025. While many violations have been closed after inspections and required corrections, the frequency of heating, safety, and maintenance issues suggests persistent challenges in building management and maintenance.
