1493 East 34th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11234
The two-story, three-unit residential building at 1493 East 34th Street in Flatlands, owned by Marlene McCray and constructed in 1940, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly regarding heat and hot water systems. Between November 2023 and November 2024, there were three emergency complaints about heat/hot water issues, with two complaints resulting in HPD's inability to gain access for inspection, while one complaint in December 2023 was investigated without resulting in violations.
The building currently has multiple open Housing Maintenance Code violations from December 2023 and April 2024, including concerns about a defective carbon monoxide detector in Apartment 1, water temperature issues exceeding the 130-degree maximum, various maintenance problems including a missing self-closing door, and an infestation of roaches in Apartment 1. The building's fire safety compliance has also been questioned, with a violation noting the building entrance door is not fire-rated.
Historical data shows recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance, with violations noted in 2019 and 2022 for failure to file annual bedbug reports, though subsequent filings in 2021 and 2022 indicated no infested units. The building's documented history includes a specific maintenance issue from 2019 regarding bathroom window functionality in the basement/ground floor apartment. While some violations from earlier years have been resolved, several critical issues remain outstanding as of the most recent inspections, particularly concerning heating systems and apartment maintenance.
