2032 East 41st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11234

The two-family house at 2032 East 41st Street in Flatlands, owned by Charly Gali and built in 1925, has experienced significant and recurring electrical issues in recent months. From March to April 2025, there were four documented power outage incidents, three of which required HPD inspections that could not be completed due to access issues, while one resulted in the issuance of violations.

These electrical problems represent the most urgent and ongoing maintenance concerns for the property. In addition to the electrical issues, there have been several other maintenance concerns documented between February and April 2025. These include a heat/hot water issue affecting a single apartment (March 2025, with inspection difficulties), and multiple building-wide inspections in February 2025 that addressed various systems and conditions including ventilation, plumbing (bathtub/shower), paint/plaster (ceiling), and window frame conditions.

While the ventilation system and plumbing issues did not result in any housing law violations, the window frame condition and paint/plaster issues resulted in violations that require correction by the property owner. Looking further back, in February 2022, there was a complaint about an illegal conversion at the property, but the Department of Buildings was unable to gain access for inspection despite multiple attempts, and the matter was marked as closed in November 2022. The building's recent history suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly related to electrical systems, with multiple instances of inspection access issues complicating resolution efforts.
