109 Vernon Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206

The three-story, four-unit residential building at 109 Vernon Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Sarah Neuman, has experienced persistent water-related issues over the past several years. Most notably, from late 2022 through 2023, there were multiple complaints about water leaks, including both slow and heavy flow problems, with the most recent complaints recorded in October 2023. These complaints, along with a September 2023 ceiling paint/plaster issue, were closed without inspection access being granted.

The building has also faced several maintenance violations, including an ongoing Class C violation from September 2023 regarding a defective self-closing door in Apartment 2, and a violation for missing carbon monoxide detectors in the same unit. Two separate Annual Bedbug Report violations were recorded in March and April 2024, though the reports from 2022 through 2024 show no infested units. The property has had documented rodent activity, with inspections in 2024 showing at least two instances of rat activity despite some inspections showing compliance.

Most recently, a complaint regarding work without a permit was filed in February 2025 but was closed due to inability to gain access. While inspection records show periods of compliance, the recurring nature of water-related complaints and varying inspection results regarding rodent activity suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The bedbug reporting appears to indicate successful eradication efforts, with no infested units reported since 2020.
