521 East 88th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11236

The two-family residence at 521 East 88th Street in Canarsie, owned by Josephine Marra Pucci, has experienced recurring maintenance issues since 2021, with the most significant concerns revolving around heating and hot water systems. Between 2021 and 2023, th building faced multiple heat and hot water complaints, with some requiring emergency responses from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), though no violations were ultimately issued in most cases.

The building also experienced electrical lighting issues in 2023, which were closed without violations. Significant infrastructure concerns were documented in June 2021, particularly in the first-floor apartment (Apt 1) including problems with mold, leaky faucets, and hot water supply, with multiple violations remaining open as of current records. Additional historical issues include a failed rodent inspection in September 2022 (though subsequent inspections in 2023 passed), an appliance complaint regarding refrigeration in July 2022 that could not be inspected, and some plumbing concerns in June 2021.

An illegal conversion complaint from 2018 was filed but was closed due to access being denied during inspection attempts. The building's documented history suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly with building systems affecting resident comfort. While many complaints have been resolved through inspection processes, as of the most recent records, there are still multiple open violations related to bathroom fixtures, hot water supply, and other maintenance issues primarily affecting Apt 1 and the first floor.
