527 Marcy Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206

527 Marcy Avenue is a three-story, two-family brownstone built in 1931 and currently owned by Shlomo Karpen, located in Brooklyn's Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood. The property has experienced several maintenance issues over the past 14 years, with the most significant being an open violation from June 2019 regarding missing carbon monoxide detectors in the entire second-floor apartment (Class B violation).

Historical records show a pattern of maintenance problems in 2011, including rodent infestations (roaches and mice), various structural repairs needed in the second-floor apartment, and security concerns with the building's entrance door locks. Most of these 2011 violations were eventually addressed, with certifications of compliance filed in 2019, including repairs to the wooden floor, metal ceiling, plaster surfaces, and security enhancements. The building underwent several rodent-related inspections between 2022 and 2025, with the most recent three inspections in March 2025, September 2024, and March 2023 yielding satisfactory results ("Passed").

Notably, there were multiple bait applications in 2022, indicating active pest control measures were required during that period. The property's recent rodent inspection results suggest improved conditions, with no active violations recorded since 2019. While the building's maintenance history shows a pattern of issues requiring attention, the current rodent inspection results indicate successful pest management efforts, though the open carbon monoxide detector violation from 2019 remains a notable safety concern.
