1229 Avenue Y, Brooklyn, NY 11235
The 55-unit, 6-story residential building at 1229 Avenue Y in Sheepshead Bay, constructed in 1962 and currently owned by Arben Ahmetaj, has experienced several notable issues over recent years. The property has a concerning pattern of heat and hot water issues, with multiple complaints (seven documented instances) between late 2021 and late 2024, particularly affecting the entire building. More recently, in March 2024, there was a reported slow water leak, and in August 2024, concerns were raised about janitorial/superintendent services, though these complaints were closed with no violations found.
The building's elevator system has also been a recurring concern, with three complaints between 2020 and 2024 regarding single device service and no alternate service, with violations noted in 2020 and 2021 for various maintenance issues including inoperative equipment and oil leaks. The building has multiple open violations related to safety equipment and maintenance as of the most recent inspections. These include issues with self-closing doors, smoke detectors, and carbon monoxide detectors, particularly in Unit 6J, as well as problems with window sashes in Unit 3B.
The property has shown consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing zero infestations for the past several years from 2018-2024. Recent rodent inspections indicate active management of pest control, with bait applied in June 2024, though an initial inspection in February 2019 showed passing results. The building's history suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly related to building systems and safety equipment, with some violations remaining unresolved for extended periods.
