2250 West Street, Brooklyn, NY 11223

The two-story, three-unit residential building at 2250 West Street in Gravesend, owned by Albert Zarif and constructed in 1965, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, there was a concerning pattern of heat and hot water outages in January 2022, with multiple emergency complaints filed through the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) regarding this building-wide issue.

While heat and hot water were reportedly restored following these incidents, the recurring nature of the complaints indicates a potentially persistent system problem during that period. The building has multiple open violations related to annual bedbug reporting requirements under the Housing Maintenance Code, with violations recorded in 2021, 2022, and more recently in March and April 2024, suggesting a lack of compliance with this important public health requirement.

In terms of recent maintenance activity, a rodent inspection conducted in August 2023 resulted in a passing score, indicating no current rodent issues. Additionally, there was a construction-related matter addressed in 2024 regarding a permit issue from July 2022, which was resolved with a Request For Corrective Action that was subsequently corrected in January 2024. While some historical issues have been resolved, the building's recent violations and historical heating system problems warrant attention to the building's maintenance practices, though it's worth noting that more recent complaints appear to have been addressed promptly when they occurred.
