1517 St Marks Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11233
1517 St. Marks Avenue is an 8-unit, 2-story residential building located in Crown Heights, built in 1901 and currently owned by Michael Mcneally. The property has been experiencing persistent pest issues, with multiple rodent sightings documented between 2019-2021, and most recently in May 2025.
While the June 2025 inspection resulted in a "Passed" compliance status, the prior inspection noted "Rat Activity". The building has also faced recurring challenges with bedbug reporting requirements, as evidenced by four open Housing Maintenance Code violations (2021-2024) related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports. The property has undergone significant construction activity between 2024-2025, resulting in numerous Construction Safety Compliance (CSC) violations. Notable active ECB violations from November 2024 include serious safety concerns with worker protection, excavation safety, and the absence of required sidewalk sheds, with penalties totaling $27,400.
Additional construction-related issues were recorded in 2024 including problems with construction fencing, equipment placement, and safety training, though many of these violations have been resolved. A Class 1 DOB violation from 2022 regarding failure to certify correction of an immediately hazardous condition remains active. The building's history shows intermittent sanitation issues, with reports of unsanitary conditions related to garbage storage and pests in 2021, though these complaints were closed without violations being issued. A cluster of rodent complaints was documented in 2019, with various inspection results including some "Passed" and others noting "Failed for Other Reasons." The current rodent inspection results indicate some improvement, with the most recent 2025 inspection passing compliance standards.
