760 Union Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The three-story, four-unit building at 760 Union Street in Park Slope, owned by Robert Silverblatt and constructed in 1920, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over the past five years. Most notably, there is an ongoing Department of Health complaint from August 2021 regarding construction lead dust in common areas.

Recent safety concerns include multiple open violations from a 2022 inspection, particularly involving apartment 4's defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, as well as issues with self-closing doors at the first-story vestibule. The building has also faced recurring electrical problems, with three separate "no lighting" complaints between 2019 and 2020, and various building maintenance issues including mold, pests, water leaks, and problems with walls and appliances. The property has had multiple regulatory inspections and complaints regarding building safety, including concerns about illegal conversions, work without permits, and debris issues in 2021, though inspectors often reported being unable to gain access during these visits.

While there have been several Housing Maintenance Code violations issued, many have been closed after correction, though some open violations remain as of the latest inspection date. On a positive note, the building has maintained a zero record of bedbug infestations in the past seven reporting periods from 2019 through 2024, and passed a rodent inspection in October 2019. The history of maintenance issues suggests recurring challenges with building upkeep and safety compliance, particularly regarding common area maintenance and emergency preparedness systems like smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.
