1579 East New York Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11212
1579 East New York Avenue is a three-unit, three-story residential building built in 2005 and owned by Simcha Lustig, located in Brownsville, Brooklyn. The building's maintenance history reveals several concerning patterns, particularly regarding sanitation and pest control.
Between 2022 and 2024, there were multiple complaints and violations related to unsanitary conditions, including sewage issues and pest infestations, with the most recent pest-related violation occurring in July 2023 affecting Apartment 2. The building's safety systems have also required attention, with violations in 2023 for non-operational smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in Apartment 2, though these issues were certified as corrected by August 2023. The property has a documented history of rodent issues, with multiple bait applications recorded in 2018 and 2019, and earlier pest problems noted in 2018 involving roaches and mice.
The building's infrastructure has faced some challenges, including an emergency complaint in 2021 regarding a dangerous gutter condition that resulted in a $2,500 violation, though this violation was later resolved. The landlord appears to have maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2021, with no reported infestations in recent filings from 2022 through 2024. While many complaints have been investigated and closed without violations, including recent complaints in late 2023 regarding sewage and intercom issues, there remains a pattern of maintenance challenges, particularly related to sanitation and pest control, that has persisted over multiple years.
