545 St Marks Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216

545 St Marks Avenue is a 4-story, 8-unit residential building constructed in 2019 and currently owned by Einav Mkover. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over its relatively short history, with the most recent concerns focusing on water supply problems in early 2024, and previous heating system failures recorded in late 2021 and early 2022.

The property has been subject to various housing maintenance code violations, particularly in early 2022, including multiple public area safety sign requirements that remain in open violation status. These violations involve posting notices related to smoke detector requirements, carbon monoxide detection, gas leak procedures, and tenant safety information, though the building has consistently reported zero bedbug infestations in annual filings since 2022. During the construction phase in 2018-2019, the project encountered several safety compliance issues, resulting in temporary stop work orders and multiple Environmental Control Board violations related to construction safety, including scaffold safety and worker protection requirements.

All these construction-related violations have been resolved, with no outstanding penalties. Recent inspections from 2022 to 2025 have generally shown passing results for rodent activity, though there were instances of rat activity reported in late 2022 and early 2022. The building's management has maintained proper annual bedbug reporting with zero reported infestations in recent years, and regular rodent inspections continue to show compliance with safety standards.
