1411 Avenue V, Brooklyn, NY 11229

The 91-unit, 6-story building at 1411 Avenue V in Sheepshead Bay, owned by Pamela Ludwick, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past several years, with the most recent three incidents occurring within 2025. These emergency heating system failures have affected the entire building, with violations being issued in February 2025 that the owner is required to address.

The building has a documented history of heat-related problems, particularly notable in the winter months, with similar complaints recorded in late 2024, and multiple instances in 2022, 2021, and throughout 2019. Plumbing issues have also been documented, including radiator and steam pipe problems in 2021, though inspections of these complaints did not result in violations.

On a positive note, the building has maintained a clean record regarding pest issues, with bedbug reports showing zero infestations from 2019 through the present, and a passing rodent inspection in July 2015. The Department of Buildings has issued several permits for work at the property, including plumbing-related work in 2018 and other authorized work in 2019. While the building has experienced various maintenance challenges, particularly regarding the heating system, these issues have generally been addressed through the required inspection and violation process, though some recent heating problems have resulted in open violations as of mid-2025.
