11 Somers Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The three-story, three-unit brownstone at 11 Somers Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, currently owned by Arkadiy Nagorev, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years, particularly in 2023. Most notably, there are multiple open violations from August 2023 affecting Apartment 4, including problems with water leaks, pest infestations (specifically roaches), electrical wiring, plaster and paint surfaces, and bathroom fixtures.

These violations span across various categories, including Class A, B, and C violations under the Housing Maintenance Code. The building also has an active Environmental Control Board violation from August 2023 regarding unauthorized removal of A/C switches in Apartment 1, with a $4,000 penalty, and an open violation from April 2024 related to failure to file annual bedbug reports. The property has a documented history of maintenance issues, including multiple 311 service requests in summer 2023 regarding unsanitary conditions, electrical wiring problems, and ceiling issues, though initial inspections found no violations for some of these complaints.

While there were emergency complaints regarding heat/hot water and cooking gas in May 2021, those issues were reported as resolved. A rodent inspection from June 2020 showed compliance at that time, though pest control became a recurring issue in 2023. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic infrastructure systems, particularly in Unit 4, which appears to be the most affected apartment based on the concentration of recent violations.
