201 Avenue T, Brooklyn, NY 11223

The three-story, five-unit tenement at 201 Avenue T in Gravesend, owned by Mansoor Hatanian and built in 1931, has experienced recurring heating system issues over the past few years. Most notably, there have been three documented complaints of inadequate heat and hot water in the entire building between January 2022 and February 2024, all classified as emergency situations.

While one of these incidents was resolved according to tenant reports, the others resulted in HPD being unable to gain access for inspection. The building has also faced several code violations related to safety and maintenance in 2024, including encumbrances in public hall stairs, a defective self-closing door at the third-story bulkhead, and a battery-powered electric scooter in the first-story hall. Previous violations from early 2022 involved improper door maintenance, missing signage, and requirements for heating system access notification.

The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with the most recent annual reports from 2021 through 2024 showing zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infestations. Earlier violations from 2021 included a requirement for an annual bedbug report filing, which has since been consistently complied with, showing the owner's attention to pest management protocols. While the building has had its share of maintenance issues requiring attention, particularly regarding heating system reliability and safety code compliance, it has demonstrated adherence to bedbug reporting requirements and has maintained a pest-free status for the past several years.
