763 Monroe Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The 763 Monroe Street building, a 4-story Old Law Tenement constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Shimon Sabah, has experienced several notable maintenance and safety issues over recent years. Most significantly, in December 2022, the building faced multiple emergency complaints regarding heat/hot water and water supply issues that affected the entire building, though HPD inspections did not issue violations. Subsequent violations noted on December 28, 2022, pertained to safety notifications, including missing smoke detector requirements, carbon monoxide detector requirements, registration number postings, and heating system access information, though these were certified as corrected by December 29, 2022.

The building has maintained a consistent record of no bedbug infestations over the past six reporting periods from 2019 to 2024, indicating effective pest management. Rodent activity has been a recurring concern at the property, with inspections showing periods of rat activity in 2016, 2019, 2022, and most recently in 2024. Of particular note was a December 2021 rat sighting that prompted a DOHMH investigation resulting in violations requiring follow-up inspections.

However, the most recent July 2024 inspection passed successfully. While the building's systems have experienced intermittent issues, particularly during the winter of 2022-2023, and has faced some documentation and notification compliance issues, the management appears to have addressed violations promptly once identified. The absence of recent bedbug reports and the most recent successful rodent inspection suggest some improvement in pest management, though the historical pattern of rodent activity remains a notable aspect of the building's maintenance history.
