951 East 58th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11234

The two-story, three-unit building at 951 East 58th Street in Flatlands, owned by Donovan Pigott, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over recent years, with the most recent complaints filed in November 2024. These heating problems, classified as emergencies, represent a pattern of maintenance challenges, as similar complaints were recorded in 2021 and 2020.

The building has also faced several safety and regulatory compliance issues, with a 2024 violation related to defective self-closing doors at the public entrance, and multiple 2023 and 2022 violations concerning the timely filing of annual bedbug reports. The property has undergone various safety inspections, revealing both compliance achievements and persistent concerns - including an open Class C violation from 2021 regarding posting of heating system access information in the third-story public hall. The building's historical data shows some positive developments, including the completion of multiple emergency repairs and the submission of bedbug reports indicating zero infested units in the most recent 2022-2023 reporting period, following the eradication of three units in the previous 2019-2020 period.

Earlier maintenance records from 2018 and 2010 show passing rodent inspection results and some initial concerns. The property has generally demonstrated responsiveness to violations and complaints, as evidenced by the closure of numerous inspection citations between 2020 and 2024. Though the building's age (constructed in 1960) presents typical maintenance challenges, the recurring nature of heating system problems and some delayed compliance with safety notifications suggests ongoing attention to building systems and regulatory requirements is needed.
