74 1st Place, Brooklyn, NY 11231

The property at 74 1st Place in Carroll Gardens is a 4-story, 4-unit residential building dating back to 1910, currently owned by Mina Moussa. The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues, with three emergency complaints filed in July 2024 alone, though these were resolved swiftly each time. The basement apartment has faced multiple pest-related challenges, with open violations as of October 2023 for both rodent and cockroach infestations. The building has had several infrastructure concerns, including water-related issues in 2023 (with emergency plumbing complaints) and various mechanical system problems.

In 2023, two self-closing door violations were issued for apartments on the 4th and 5th floors, while the basement apartment faced multiple violations related to a malfunctioning intercom system and mold issues. The building's history includes significant construction activity and compliance challenges from 2019-2021, particularly concerning a rear extension that experienced partial facade collapse and required emergency work. Multiple complaints about illegal construction activities and safety concerns were filed during this period, though most were ultimately dismissed or resolved. Recent inspections in 2024-2025 show ongoing rodent management efforts, with bait systems being applied.

Notably, the building has maintained a bedbug-free status in recent reporting periods, with no infestations recorded since 2019. The property has had consistent maintenance code compliance inspections and violations resolved over time, with the most recent being addressed through ongoing remediation efforts. The most recent construction-related activity as of June 2025 resulted in a Partial Stop Work Order, suggesting some ongoing work or compliance issues may still be unresolved. The building has undergone various repairs and improvements through multiple permit issuances, with the most significant work occurring under job numbers 340681596 and 340747525 between 2020-2021. While many past violations have been resolved, the presence of open violations related to pest infestation and some building systems as of early 2023 suggests that not all maintenance issues have been fully addressed.
