2146 East 13th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11229

The property at 2146 East 13th Street in Sheepshead Bay is a two-story, two-family house built in 1970, currently owned by Gary Broder. The building has a significant history of maintenance issues, particularly concentrated in apartment 2 during August 2018, when multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations were recorded.

These violations included serious safety concerns such as inoperative carbon monoxide detectors (class B), dangerously scalding hot water (140°F) at all fixtures (class C), and various water leaks affecting multiple areas including walls and ceilings. Additional problems documented in 2018 involved broken electrical fixtures, damaged plaster surfaces requiring repairs and repainting, and defective window balances.

While some violations were marked as closed after inspection on August 27, 2018, several remain listed as open, including the carbon monoxide detector issue and multiple water-related problems. Furthermore, there was an issue with overgrown vegetation in the rear yard that was classified as a class A violation. The accumulation of these maintenance issues in 2018, particularly the safety-related concerns, suggests that the property has experienced significant residential quality challenges, though it is unclear from the available data whether these issues have been fully resolved in the years since.
