113 Vernon Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206

The three-story, three-unit tenement building at 113 Vernon Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by VERNON VV LLC, has experienced several concerning maintenance and safety issues over the past few years. The property, built in 1899, has ongoing housing maintenance code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements that remain open as of 2024-2025. In 2021-2022, there was a cluster of complaints and violations indicating multiple maintenance concerns including mold (classified as an emergency), problems with the ventilation system, smoke detector issues, carbon monoxide detector concerns, and problems with the building's intercom system and appliances.

Notably, there was also a water leak issue involving damp spots. While these multiple complaints from December 2021 were subsequently closed due to lack of access for inspection, they reflected a period of significant maintenance challenges. More recently, the building has had continuing rodent-related issues, with the most recent inspections showing mixed results. As of 2025, there was one "Passed" inspection (April 2025), one instance of "Rat Activity" (February 2025), and the building has undergone multiple rodent inspections over the years, with varying results.

Notably, there were periods of rat activity documented in late 2022 and early 2023, though some subsequent inspections passed. The building's most recent bedbug report (May 2021) for the period of November 2019 to October 2020 showed no infestation during that time frame, and annual bedbug reporting requirements appear to be an ongoing compliance issue. The building's maintenance history suggests periods of significant maintenance challenges, particularly in 2021-2022, though recent rodent inspections have generally shown improvements, with most recent inspections passing. The property has been subject to regular oversight and inspections for both bedbug and rodent compliance, indicating active monitoring of these persistent issues.
