591 Marcy Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206

The two-story, three-unit residential building at 591 Marcy Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Berish Getz and constructed in 1910, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns being heating system problems. Most recently, in April 2025, two emergency complaints regarding building-wide heat and hot water issues were filed and closed, though access for inspection was not granted.

The building's history shows a pattern of heating system challenges, as evidenced by these recent complaints and an earlier water leak issue reported in December 2022, which was eventually resolved. During the same period (December 2022), the property faced pest-related challenges, receiving a Department of Health inspection for rat sighting and an HPD complaint regarding unsanitary conditions related to pests, though inspections did not result in any violations. The building has maintained a generally good record regarding bedbug management, with annual reports from 2019 through 2024 showing zero infestation and eradication cases.

Regular rodent inspections have been conducted, with most recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 passing successfully, though there were instances of rat activity noted in April 2024 and April 2022. The property's hygiene maintenance record shows consistent attention to regulatory requirements, with multiple inspections passed and only one recorded violation during this period. While the building has faced occasional maintenance issues, particularly regarding heat and hot water systems as evidenced by the recent 2025 complaints, the regular pest control and bedbug management practices suggest proactive maintenance in those areas.
