203 Avenue U, Brooklyn, NY 11223
The 6-unit, 4-story tenement building at 203 Avenue U in Gravesend, owned by John Oliveri, has experienced several maintenance challenges since 2019, with the most recent issues occurring in early 2024. The building has faced recurring problems with heat and hot water, particularly in 2020 and 2022, when multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding entire-building system failures, though these were eventually resolved.
More recent concerns include violations for unsanitary conditions and pest infestations in January 2024, specifically affecting the fourth-floor apartment (Apartment 6), along with issues related to window frames. The building's maintenance history also shows previous problems with multiple systems, including plumbing, paint/plaster issues, and door/window problems, with various violations noted in apartments 2 and 3 between 2019-2020. Notably, the building has maintained good compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2019 through 2024, consistently reporting zero infested or re-infested dwelling units.
It recently passed rodent inspections in 2024, 2017, and 2009, indicating some success in addressing pest control measures. The property is subject to New York City Housing Maintenance Code regulations, which have resulted in both Class B and Class C violations requiring attention to safety and habitability concerns. These include recent violations for hot water temperature control and door maintenance requirements in Apartment 6, as well as historical violations related to smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors in Apartment 2.
