1713 East New York Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The three-story, three-unit building at 1713 East New York Avenue in Brownsville, owned by Imelda Evans and constructed in 1901, has experienced several notable maintenance and safety issues over recent years. In 2019, the property faced multiple sanitation challenges, including documented pest problems through 311 complaints and Housing Maintenance Code violations.

Particularly concerning were the pest-related violations in 2019 (which received an "A" classification), and a January 2019 violation for mice infestation in apartment 3. Additionally, unit 3 had several safety-related violations in 2019, including issues with an intercom system, smoke detector, fire escape lock, window guards, and missing security features like a peep hole, though most of these violations were subsequently marked as closed. More recent records show improvements in pest management, with the building passing rodent inspections in 2018 and 2019, and no documented rodent complaints since 2018.

The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2021 through 2024, showing no cases of infestation during the past three reporting periods. The most recent Housing Maintenance Code inspections in 2022, 2023, and 2024 have all focused on bedbug reporting compliance, which has been properly addressed according to the records. While the building has had its share of maintenance issues, particularly in 2018-2019, the recent years show improved compliance with pest control and safety requirements, with no recent complaints about unsanitary conditions or rodent problems.
