1247 Avenue V, Brooklyn, NY 11229

The 12-unit, four-story building at 1247 Avenue V in Sheepshead Bay, managed by 1247 Ave V LLC, was constructed in 1927 as a New Law tenement. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years, with the most pressing concerns being heating system problems. Notably, in January 2021, there was an emergency complaint regarding lack of heat and hot water affecting the entire building, though these services were reportedly restored shortly after the complaint was filed. The building has also faced recurring issues with window frames, particularly in December 2019 when violations were issued, and again in November 2019.

Other maintenance problems have included electrical issues (2025), flooring concerns (2019), and some structural concerns requiring attention to plaster surfaces and paint in various units, particularly in Apartment A3. The property has been subject to multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations over the years, most notably in early 2021 when violations were documented regarding fire escape obstructions, balcony rust, and the requirement for proper building signage. These violations were subsequently addressed and closed. Importantly, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in any of the eight consecutive annual inspections conducted from 2019 through 2025.

The regularity of 311 service requests and housing violations suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, though many of these issues have been addressed following official inspections and tenant complaints. The apartment has maintained a consistent record of being bedbug-free across all inspection periods from 2019 to 2025, with no reported infestations or eradications. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of prompt response to most issues, with violations typically being addressed and closed following inspection and notification to the management. However, the recurring nature of some problems, particularly heating and window-related issues, indicates these systems may require ongoing monitoring.
