122 St Marks Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11217

The three-story, four-unit residential building at 122 St. Marks Avenue in Prospect Heights, owned by Claudette Eugene, has experienced several notable issues in recent years, particularly concerning building systems and maintenance compliance. Most recently, in October 2023, there were complaints regarding lack of heat and hot water for the entire building, and earlier in January 2023, there were water supply issues - though in both instances, inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the conditions.

As of April 2024, there are multiple open violations requiring attention, including failure to file the annual bedbug report (Class A violation), and several maintenance issues identified in an October 2023 inspection. These include problems with self-closing doors at the entrance (Class B), a leaking roof affecting the third-floor public hall ceiling (Class B), and various deficiencies in the third-story public hall regarding ceiling and wall repairs, painting requirements, and removal of encumbrances (ranging from Class A to C violations). The building has a history of some concerning maintenance patterns, with multiple violations related to building safety and maintenance standards.

Among the most significant issues are the need for repair of a defective metal newel post at the entrance stairs (Class B), the requirement to post proper notices regarding carbon monoxide detecting device requirements (Class A), and various other maintenance and safety-related requirements. While there are records of the building passing rodent inspections in 2018 and 2019, the recent pattern of heating, plumbing, and general maintenance issues suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and compliance with housing codes. Notably, the building has also been associated with two separate day care facility investigations conducted by the NYC Health Department in late 2020, though the outcomes of these investigations are not detailed in the available records.
