2440 East 29th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11235

The 113-unit, 6-story residential building at 2440 East 29th Street in Sheepshead Bay, owned by Robert Izsak and constructed in 1961, has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years. Most recently, in June 2025, there was a heat and hot water outage affecting the entire building, though these services were reportedly restored promptly. Throughout Spring 2025, multiple violations were issued concerning various building conditions, including problems with windows, water leaks, ventilation systems, flooring, and unsanitary mold conditions.

The building's elevator system has required attention, with violations recorded in late 2023 and summer 2024 regarding brake and electrical issues, though these were subsequently resolved with penalties totaling $4,375. Significant ongoing concerns include multiple housing maintenance code violations from 2024 related to Apartment 6E, including issues with mold, plaster surfaces, and door functionality, though some of these were certified as corrected. The building has also accumulated several active Department of Buildings (DOB) violations regarding energy benchmarking reports, facade maintenance, and elevator safety features, with some dating back to 2020-2021.

A cycle 9C unsafe report was filed in 2022, and there have been recurring issues with heating system access and door security. Notably, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations since 2020, with no reported cases, and has generally passed rodent inspections, though there was one failure noted in 2011. The property has also experienced multiple inspections and complaints regarding its sidewalk shed/scaffold system between 2023-2025, though most resulted in no violations being found.
