1983 West 10th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11223

The 4-unit, 2-story building at 1983 West 10th Street in Gravesend, owned by Hui Ping Feng and constructed in 1926, has experienced several significant issues over recent years. Most notably, between 2020-2021, there were multiple complaints and violations regarding heat/hot water issues affecting both the entire building and individual apartments, as well as plumbing problems involving bathtubs/showers and sinks, particularly in Apartment 1F, which experienced water leaks, pest infestations, and multiple maintenance issues requiring attention.

The building underwent a brief period of illegal conversion to a 5-family dwelling in 2020-2021, with violations including unauthorized construction work and improper usage of the cellar space, though this was ultimately resolved and restored to its legal 4-family status. More recent concerns include active environmental control board violations from 2022 related to unauthorized basement usage, with penalties issued totaling $3,750, though there is no balance due currently.

The building's maintenance history shows consistent bedbug reporting compliance between 2019-2024, with no reported infestations during the last two inspection periods (2022-2023 and 2023-2024). The property has had periodic smoking violations (2018-2019) and a sewage odor complaint in 2018 that was addressed. While many earlier issues have been resolved, including various housing maintenance code violations, the building's history suggests recurring patterns of maintenance challenges, particularly during the 2020-2021 period when multiple service requests and violations were documented.
