203 Avenue T, Brooklyn, NY 11223

203 Avenue T is a three-story, five-unit residential building located in Gravesend, Brooklyn, owned by Mansoor Hatanian and constructed in 1931 as a New Law Tenement. The property has experienced recurring heating issues, with five documented heat/hot water complaints in early 2021 (four affecting the entire building and one specific to an apartment), and one recent incident in December 2023 affecting the entire building.

The 2021 complaints were particularly concerning as HPD was unable to gain access to investigate the reported conditions, though in both 2021 and 2023, tenants indicated that heat and hot water had been restored prior to inspection. The building has faced several maintenance challenges over the years, including security and safety concerns. In early 2021, multiple violations were documented, including a broken front entrance lock (January), missing or defective window guards in public areas (February), and a failure to file the required annual bedbug report (April).

More recent issues include a December 2023 violation for encumbrances consisting of household items in the first-floor public hall. Notably, the building has maintained a clean bedbug record for the past five reporting periods from 2019 through 2024, with no reported infestations or re-infestations. While the property has experienced persistent heating system problems and various maintenance violations, there is no evidence of any ongoing pest issues, suggesting effective management of that particular concern.
