39 Garnet Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231

39 Garnet Street is a two-family residential building located in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn, constructed in 1901 and currently owned by 39 Garnet Street Realty Corp. This two-story wood frame structure has faced significant challenges in recent years, most notably experiencing substantial fire damage in May 2021 that affected both the first and second-floor apartments.

The fire incident led to multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) violations requiring urgent attention to building safety conditions, including concerns about collapsed windows on the second floor and exposed structural elements at both levels. These violations, categorized as "V-DOB VIOLATION - ACTIVE," mandated the owner to engage licensed professionals to evaluate and repair the damage, with specific deadlines for permit application and completion of work during 2021. The building's maintenance history shows a series of complaints and violations in May 2021, including a full vacate order due to building shaking and structural stability concerns.

While several of these complaints were subsequently closed with either "No Violation Warranted" or "Buildings Violation(s) Served," the property's history raised significant safety concerns at that time. On a positive note, recent documentation shows no bedbug infestations in the building for the past two reporting periods (2022-2023 and 2023-2024), with all units reporting zero infested or eradicated units. As of the most recent available data, the building's active violations related to the 2021 fire incident remain open, suggesting ongoing attention to these safety and maintenance issues may be necessary.
