136 St Marks Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11217
The 6-unit, 3-story building at 136 St. Marks Avenue in Prospect Heights, owned by Cunqiang Li and built in 1880, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Between August and December 2021, there were multiple emergency complaints regarding heat and hot water issues affecting the entire building, with violations issued for inadequate heat and hot water verified in at least one apartment.
Additional building-wide concerns during this period included problems with the intercom system and water supply, both of which inspectors were unable to access for full verification. The building has also faced persistent violations related to safety signage requirements, including posts regarding carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detector requirements, and emergency procedures, most notably documented in an August 2021 inspection. A specific violation regarding hot water provision in Apartment 4 remains open from this inspection.
More recent records show improvements in certain areas, including successful rodent control measures demonstrated by passing inspections in 2019, though there were multiple instances of rat activity noted in earlier inspections from 2018. The building has maintained a good record regarding bedbug management, with the most recent filings in 2024 showing no infested units during the reporting periods of 2022-2023 and 2023-2024, indicating successful eradication efforts. The property has also demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements for the past two years. While the building's recent history of heat and water issues appears to have stabilized since 2021, the persistence of some safety-related violations from 2021 regarding building signage and notifications remains notable.
