551 Henry Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231
The 4-story, 3-unit tenement building at 551 Henry Street in Carroll Gardens, owned by Gerard Agard, has experienced several notable issues over the past years. Most recently, in early 2024, there were safety concerns regarding both smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, along with pest issues, though these were addressed and closed by February 2024.
Between 2023-2024, multiple complaints were filed regarding water leaks, flooring conditions, and door issues, with some complaints remaining inaccessible to inspectors. The building has also faced significant violations related to building safety, with records from April 2024 showing unauthorized removal of fireproofing materials from the ground floor lobby ceiling and excessive dust and construction debris throughout the building. Looking at broader compliance issues, the building has multiple open violations with the Department of Buildings regarding failure to file required external low-pressure inspections from 2018-2023.
Earlier violations from 2022 indicate problems with heating adequacy in one apartment, and various safety notice requirements for carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and gas leak procedures. Bedbug and pest management appears to be actively monitored, with the most recent bedbug report (May 2024) showing no infested units for the 2022-2023 period. The building's electrical system showed a power outage emergency in July 2022, and during 2019 rodent inspections, while one initial inspection result was failed for "Other Reasons," subsequent compliance inspections passed.
