1144 St Marks Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11213

**Property Summary: 1144 St Marks Avenue, Crown Heights, Brooklyn** 1144 St Marks Avenue is a 2-story, 4-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Bertrand Lessey. The building has experienced several notable safety and maintenance issues over the past three years, with the most recent violation occurring in April 2024 related to the failure to file the required annual bedbug report, a recurring issue that has appeared on inspections in both 2023 and 2024.

A comprehensive safety inspection conducted in December 2022 revealed multiple violations that required attention, including missing safety postings for smoke detector requirements, carbon monoxide detector requirements, gas leak procedures, and building inspection certificate display. The inspection also identified the need for maintenance of self-closing front entrance doors and the repair or replacement of carbon monoxide detecting devices in the 1F apartment.

While most of the violations from the December 2022 inspection have since been addressed and closed as of April 2023, including the installation of proper safety postings, one notable unresolved issue remains regarding the carbon monoxide detecting devices in apartment 1F (classified as Class B). The building's permit history shows an issued work permit in January 2022, which could indicate some maintenance or improvement work was planned or undertaken at that time. The pattern of violations suggests ongoing challenges with maintaining timely compliance with safety requirements, though many historical violations have been addressed through subsequent inspections.
