1551 East New York Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The three-story, three-unit building at 1551 East New York Avenue in Brownsville, owned by Roberto Loubriel and constructed in 2006, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, there are currently two open Class C violations from February 2023 regarding defective sprinkler heads in the public hall areas on both the first and second stories.

Additionally, there are two open violations from 2019 in apartment 3 regarding missing carbon monoxide detectors and smoke detectors, which remain unresolved. The building has demonstrated some recurring compliance issues with the Bedbug Reporting requirements, receiving multiple violations between 2021 and 2024, though the most recent filing (October 2024) indicates no current infestations. Recent service requests from June 2022 regarding ventilation systems and appliance issues (electric/gas range) could not be inspected due to lack of access, and while a 2019 cooking gas complaint prompted an inspection with no violations found, these service requests suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.

The building's early history shows some rodent control concerns in 2017 and 2012, with one initial inspection in 2017 resulting in failure due to "Other Reasons" before subsequent inspections passed. While these issues were generally resolved at the time, the persistence of the current open violations regarding safety systems (sprinklers and detectors) is particularly concerning from a resident safety perspective. The pattern of HPD inspection activity suggests periodic compliance checks have been conducted, but access issues and unresolved violations indicate ongoing maintenance and safety system concerns that require attention.
