724 Carroll Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The 4-unit, 4-story old law tenement at 724 Carroll Street in Park Slope, owned by Mortimer Nurse, was constructed in 1930 and has experienced several significant maintenance issues over its recent history. Most notably, in March 2019 the building faced multiple emergency situations including water leaks (both slow and heavy flow), mold problems, flooring/stair issues, and problems with doors/windows, particularly affecting the public areas.

Multiple violations were documented during this period, including issues with broken wood treads in the stairs on multiple floors, ceiling problems in the public hall, and mold in the 4th-story public hall stairs. As of April 2024, the building has been cited for failing to file its annual bedbug reports in accordance with HPD rules for multiple years (2021-2024), though the most recent bedbug reports from 2024-2025 show no infested units.

The building's infrastructure was also a concern in 2019, with violations noted for roofing issues, and it experienced three separate water-related emergencies during that same period. The property has maintained a consistent record of rodent inspections between 2012-2015, with one failure noted in September 2012 for "Other Reasons," though subsequent inspections in December 2012 and November 2015 resulted in passing grades. While the building has shown some improved maintenance in recent years, as evidenced by the lack of bedbug infestations in recent reports and the closure of most previous violations, the 2019 cluster of issues indicates a period of significant maintenance challenges for this 93-year-old building.
