135 Amersfort Place, Brooklyn, NY 11210

135 Amersfort Place is a 6-story, 48-unit residential building located in Flatbush, constructed in 1929 and currently owned by Janet Tepper. The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water system issues throughout 2025, with numerous complaints filed between March and May 2025, all of which were addressed by HPD, though some required multiple inspections due to access issues. These heating system problems coincide with violations in 2020 related to the building's stability and maintenance, notably a violation for missing bricks and loose mortar around a bathroom window in Apartment 6C, which resulted in a $2,500 penalty.

The building has also faced rodent issues, with inspections in 2025 showing active rat activity in April and March, following previous similar findings in late 2023. While there were concerns about building shaking and structure stability noted in 2020, these complaints were generally resolved. The property has a documented history of maintenance issues and violations over recent years, including numerous housing code violations and environmental control board penalties.

In 2023, violations were recorded for defective plastered surfaces and paint issues in Apartment 5G, and there were previous concerns about blocked fire escapes due to protruding air conditioning units and flower pots. The elevator system has been flagged in past inspections, particularly in 2018, when it received violations for various safety concerns, though these were eventually resolved. While the building's management has maintained bedbug controls with regular reporting showing zero infested units from 2019 to present, the persistent heating system issues and recent rodent activity indicate ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has also undergone various inspections and received citations related to fire escape obstructions and heating system access, with multiple emergency complaints being logged and subsequently closed by HPD.
