119 Brooklyn Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11213

119 Brooklyn Avenue is a 3-story, 6-unit building constructed in 1923, currently owned by Lynette Gill and classified as a Converted Class A building. The property has experienced various maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent concerns being particularly notable. In mid-2024, there were water leak problems (both heavy flow and slow leak) reported, and inspections were unable to find any violations.

The building has also faced ongoing issues with door and window frames, as evidenced by multiple complaints in late 2023 showing both emergency and non-emergency status, with at least two complaints still marked as in progress. A significant cluster of maintenance issues was documented in 2024, including various violations in apartment 2R related to doors, ceilings, and water leaks, as well as concerns about fire egress and hallway conditions. The building's history shows periodic problems with heat and hot water, including a building-wide issue in December 2022 that was reportedly resolved.

Additional concerns have included pest control (with some inspection failures in 2021), sanitary conditions, and various infrastructure matters. While the building has consistently reported zero bedbug infestations in annual filings since 2019, there have been persistent rodent activity issues in recent years, with multiple bait applications and compliance inspections throughout 2023-2025 showing continued rodent presence. The property has undergone several inspections and received multiple violations, though most have been promptly addressed. The most recent violations from June 2024 related to doors, fire safety, and water damage were certified for correction in August 2024, though there are still some open violations from December 2022 related to public hallway conditions.
