AI summary · updated June 2026

The 5-story, 1938 building at 51 Furman Street in Brooklyn Heights, currently owned by Cim Nymanagement LLC, has experienced several significant issues related to building safety and compliance over recent years. Most notably, there are multiple active violations regarding the installation of a complete automatic sprinkler system, with violations dating back to 2018 through 2024, with penalties totaling $20,000 across various notices. The building has also consistently failed to submit required Cycle 9B reports of critical examination for the exterior walls, with two active violations from 2024 totaling $2,500 in penalties. More recently, in February 2023, a violation was issued for failing to file the FISP Cycle 9B technical report by the February 2023 deadline.

The building's recent history shows some concerning maintenance patterns, including a cooling tower complaint in 2020 that the Department of Health investigated but did not result in a violation. There have been recurring issues with bedbug report compliance, though recent filings from 2021-2024 show zero reported infestations, suggesting improved management of this particular issue. The building faced construction-related challenges in 2021 when a Full Stop Work Order was served, and there were violations related to safety equipment and hoist/elevator readiness during construction in 2018. While the building has passed rodent inspections (most recently in 2013), the pattern of active violations related to sprinkler systems and exterior wall examination reports suggests ongoing oversight challenges. All known bedbug and pest control issues appear to be resolved, with the most recent bedbug report (July 2024) indicating no affected units during the 2022-2023 reporting period.
