2139 East 26th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11229

The two-family residence at 2139 East 26th Street in Sheepshead Bay is a two-story building constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Ester Arieh. The building's documented violations from late 2017 highlight significant concerns regarding basic residential amenities, particularly in the first-floor apartment.

On December 27, 2017, an inspection revealed hot water issues, with temperatures exceeding the 130-degree maximum at all hot water fixtures, constituting a housing code violation under § 27-2005 of the Administrative Code. Shortly thereafter, on December 29, 2017, there was another violation concerning inadequate heating systems throughout the entire first-floor apartment, which was classified as a Class C violation under § 27-2029 of the Administrative Code.

However, it is worth noting that both violations were certified as closed on January 2, 2018, suggesting that the owner addressed these heating and hot water issues promptly within a week of official notification. Since these incidents in early 2018, there have been no recorded housing maintenance code violations through October 2023, indicating no further issues with basic utility systems in recent years.
