874 East 28th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11210

The 12-unit, 3-story tenement at 874 East 28th Street in Midwood, built in 1930 and currently owned by Michael Weisman, has experienced several maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, in June 2024, multiple complaints were filed regarding building conditions, including problems with doors and windows, fire escape safety, missing signage, electrical lighting issues, and garbage storage. These complaints resulted in violations, particularly concerning safety and electrical systems, though no violations were issued for the door, window, and unsanitary condition complaints.

Subsequent inspections in August 2024 identified several code violations that required attention, including issues with fire door latches, self-closing doors, light fixtures, and fire safety materials, all of which have been certified as corrected. The building has a documented history of heat and hot water problems, with multiple complaints recorded in late 2018, though not all inspections were able to access the affected apartments. Importantly, the building has maintained an excellent record regarding bedbug infestations, with all annual reports since 2021 showing zero instances of infestation or re-infestation.

Rodent inspections conducted in January 2017 also passed successfully, suggesting good overall vermin control. Recent maintenance violations, while requiring attention, appear to be being addressed promptly, with many classified as "Closed" after certification of correction. The building's age and historical compliance issues should be considered, though the absence of recent bedbug problems and passing rodent inspections are positive indicators of current conditions.
