1 Vernon Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206
The 6-story, 60-unit residential building at 1 Vernon Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by James Whitfield and completed in 2005, has experienced recurring heating system issues over the past two years, with multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water problems between December 2024 and May 2025. The building currently has several active violations from a September 2023 inspection of apartment 6E, including issues with pest control (roaches), lack of proper smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, damaged refrigerator door gasket, heating system maintenance (base heaters), and various maintenance concerns in both kitchen and hallway areas.
While the building has regularly passed rodent inspections, there are ongoing elevator maintenance concerns, evidenced by multiple Environmental Control Board violations issued in 2023 regarding phone line and oil leak issues, with penalties totaling $6,250. Two active DOB violations from 2021-2024 relate to failure to file energy benchmarking reports and display energy efficiency scores. The building's heating issues have been particularly notable, with multiple tenant complaints prompting HPD inspections, though in many cases heat and hot water were reportedly restored before inspections could confirm the problems.
The property has maintained a relatively good track record for bedbug management, with only limited infestations reported between 2017-2018 and consistent reporting showing no new cases in subsequent years. The elevator system has been a recurring point of concern, with multiple complaints and violations documented between 2019-2024, though most of these issues appear to be addressed through respective penalties and corrective actions. Regular rodent inspections show consistent passing results, indicating effective pest management practices are in place.
