1930 East 28th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11229

The two-family house at 1930 East 28th Street in Sheepshead Bay, owned by Ho Yin Wong, was built in 1930 and has experienced recurring issues with heating systems, particularly evident during the months of January and February 2025, when multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water failures were reported. These complaints, which were designated as emergencies, received attention from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), with some violations issued. The building has a documented history of heating system problems, with similar complaints dating back to December 2021 and various instances in 2022, suggesting this may be an ongoing maintenance issue.

In addition to the heating problems, there were also complaints in January 2025 regarding unsanitary conditions and appliance issues, though HPD was unable to gain access to conduct inspections for these complaints. The property has accumulated several violations and maintenance issues requiring attention. An inspection in June 2022 revealed a carbon monoxide detector issue that required repairs in the basement apartment, and there are multiple open violations from a January 2018 inspection of the first-floor apartment regarding door, window, and floor repairs, as well as carbon monoxide detector requirements.

During the 2018 inspection, violations were noted for a broken hole in the wood floor in the kitchen, and issues with various doors requiring refitting and proper repair with similar materials. While some violations from 2018 were closed after repairs were certified in 2018-2019, others remain open. The building's recent service history suggests persistent maintenance challenges, particularly regarding heating systems and compliance with safety requirements like carbon monoxide detectors.
