20 Carroll Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231

20 Carroll Street, a 3-story, 3-unit Old Law Tenement built in 1900 and currently owned by Vito Mannino, has experienced several significant maintenance and structural issues in recent years. Most concerning is the building's ongoing bedbug reporting compliance issue, with four consecutive open violations from 2021 through 2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by NYC Housing Maintenance Code. The building underwent major structural concerns in 2020-2021, with multiple violations regarding a bulging wall at Exposure 4, showing various cracks and structural instability.

These violations led to emergency work and shoring requirements. Though there were significant penalties associated with these violations (including $12,500 and $6,250 fines), these were ultimately dismissed when proper repairs were completed and signed off in June 2024 under job number 340797533. The property's recent history also includes several building complaints that reveal ongoing concerns, including an illegal conversion complaint in 2022 (inspector unable to gain access), work without permits in 2021 (though a Stop Work Order was fully rescinded), and multiple reports of building shaking or vibrating in 2020.

An illegal after-hours work complaint from 2023 was resolved with no violations found at the time of inspection. The building's current maintenance status shows active violations related to bedbug reporting requirements as of 2024, though the most pressing structural concerns appear to have been addressed and resolved through proper permitting and repair work completed in 2024. The most recent permit activity shows work was done under job number 340797533, issued in 2023, which should have addressed the previously documented structural issues.
