597 St Marks Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The 4-unit, 3-story building at 597 St. Marks Avenue in Crown Heights, owned by Jeneene Allette, has been in operation since 1901 and has undergone some notable changes and maintained generally good compliance with city regulations in recent years.

The property has maintained an active record of bedbug reporting compliance from 2021 through 2025, consistently reporting zero infested or re-infested units, which indicates effective pest management practices. The building has also passed multiple rodent inspections between 2021 and 2025, demonstrating effective pest control measures in place. The most significant recent compliance issue occurred in late 2018, when the Department of Buildings issued a violation related to sprinkler system maintenance between the basement and first floor staircase area, which was resolved without any imposed penalties.

Historical records from the 1980s show several violations related to lighting requirements, both for entranceway and rear yard illumination, while 1983 records also indicated a need for proper enclosure of the central heating plant in the cellar. However, all these older violations were eventually certified as resolved in 2019. The building's most recent permits from 2018 and 2019 indicate regular maintenance and improvements being undertaken, specifically Permit #320389361 from 2018 for exterior work and Permit #320328579 from 2019.
