2231 West 1st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11223

The two-family house at 2231 West 1st Street in Gravesend, owned by Eddie Chahiro, has experienced significant maintenance issues, particularly during the latter half of 2018, which remains a concern as of July 2025. The most pressing issues were related to heat and hot water systems, with multiple emergency complaints filed between September and November 2018, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building.

These included at least six distinct complaints about inadequate heating systems, with inspections yielding no violations in some cases, though at least one violation was noted for heating problems in Apartment 2. Additional complaints during this period highlighted problems with a refrigerator (both apartment and building-wide), door issues, and concerns about wall conditions, with some violations issued.

The building currently has several open violations from 2018 that warrant attention: these include an inadequate heat supply issue in Apartment 2 (Class C), window repairs needed in the kitchen (Class A), broken plaster and paint issues in a room in Apartment 2FLR (Class A), and missing carbon monoxide detection devices (Class B). Other open violations include door-related issues, security concerns regarding a double-cylinder lock, and various maintenance problems including a leaking roof over the private stairway between the first and second stories and pest control issues with roaches in Apartment 2NDFL. While some complaints from 2018 were resolved with inspections noting no violations, the persistence of these open violations suggests ongoing maintenance challenges in the building.
