715 St Marks Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216
The six-story, 83-unit building at 715 St. Marks Avenue in Crown Heights, owned by Michael Niamonitakis, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent months. From late May 2025, there have been multiple heat and hot water complaints, with some affecting the entire building.
The property has ongoing rodent control challenges, with consistent rat activity observed from February through July 2025, and multiple instances of bait application. There are also ventilation system concerns, as evidenced by a fire escape safety complaint in May 2025 that, upon inspection, was found not to violate HPD housing laws. The building has a history of significant maintenance violations, including a 2024-2025 inspection revealing multiple issues in apartment 3M (bathroom mold, water leak, plumbing problems, and evidence of pests), and in apartment 5O (lead paint hazard and pest issues).
The elevator system has faced recurring problems, with active violations from 2022 regarding improper maintenance and fire service issues, accompanied by multiple monetary penalties totaling over $10,000. Previous violations related to fire safety, including blocked fire escapes and improper storage of household items, remain active, and there are outstanding concerns regarding a sealed emergency exit door from 2020. While the building has shown some improvements in pest control based on recent Bedbug Reporting data (showing zero infested units in 2023-2024), the persistent rodent issues, heat/hot water complaints, and fire safety violations suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.
