33 Vernon Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206

The three-story, four-unit residential building at 33 Vernon Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Yoel Weiss, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past several years. Most notably, the building has undergone multiple rodent infestation management attempts, with the most recent inspection in July 2025 showing "Passed" status after several months of bait application and compliance checks earlier in 2025. The building has been facing ongoing challenges with essential services, particularly evident in September 2023 when multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding heat/hot water and cooking gas issues throughout the entire building.

These complaints resulted in violations, including inadequate hot water supply and gas delivery problems, particularly affecting the third-floor apartment. The property has also experienced structural and safety concerns, with several open Housing Maintenance Code violations as of 2025. These include issues with building access, such as a locked heating system access door in the first-story public hall, defective vestibule door self-closing mechanisms, and concerns about fire egress due to defective windows or gates in Apartment 3.

Additional violations relate to unresolved bedbug reporting requirements and various gas and plumbing system deficiencies. The building's management has faced scrutiny regarding unauthorized work, with multiple "Work Without a Permit" complaints recorded in late 2024, though some investigations resulted in no violations being found or inspectors being unable to gain access for verification. Despite these ongoing issues, recent rodent inspections show that the most pressing public health concern has been addressed, at least temporarily, with the most recent inspection indicating compliance.
