523 Henry Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231

523 Henry Street is a three-story, three-unit old law tenement building located in Carroll Gardens and owned by Anna Marie Versacio. The building, constructed in 1900, experienced several maintenance issues in late 2022 through early 2023 that were documented through multiple 311 complaints and HPD inspections. These complaints, primarily from November 2022, included concerns about the intercom system, ventilation, roofing, pest control, various paint/plaster issues, and garbage storage, with violations specifically noted for wall and ceiling conditions.

The most significant violations occurred in apartment 3, including problems with pests (specifically roaches), ceiling and wall paint conditions, and a leaking bathroom ceiling linked to roof issues. Additional violations related to building maintenance included garbage disposal problems, self-closing door issues, and mold concerns in October 2022. In 2021, there was a noteworthy incident involving unlicensed work and improper stove installation in apartment 3, resulting in an ECB violation and a $1,250 penalty, though this appears to have been resolved with no balance due.

Since these past issues, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the annual filings from 2021 through 2024. While the building had several maintenance violations in early 2023, records indicate that most of these were certified as corrected by March 2023. The property has demonstrated some history of maintenance challenges, particularly in apartment 3, but recent bedbug reports and the resolution of most violations suggest improvements in building conditions, though the data only covers through October 2023 and not beyond.
