492 Marion Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 492 Marion Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Meilech Friedman and built in 1899, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there has been an ongoing pattern of water-related problems, with multiple reports of "heavy flow" leaks and damp spots between 2022 and mid-2024, including three complaints in June 2024 alone, one of which also noted mold issues. The building faced a significant violation in January 2024 regarding its hot water heater system, with the Environmental Control Board documenting improper venting conditions that resulted in a $3,125 penalty, which is currently marked as due.

This was accompanied by another violation related to the hot water heaters' installation requirements with a $2,500 penalty. Other documented issues include a power outage in November 2022 and multiple ceiling repair complaints in August 2022, though inspections related to these complaints found no violations. The building has maintained a clean bill of health regarding bedbugs since at least 2022, with all filed reports showing zero infested units and no eradication cases.

Regular rodent inspections in 2017 and 2018 also showed passing results. While the building has had its share of maintenance concerns, particularly with water-related issues and the recent hot water system violation, it's worth noting that many complaints have been closed with no violations issued upon inspection. The property had periods of multiple complaints being filed simultaneously, particularly regarding water issues, which may indicate ongoing infrastructural challenges.
