221 Vernon Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206
The three-story, three-unit "Old Law Tenement" building at 221 Vernon Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant has experienced several notable issues in recent years, with particular concern over property maintenance and safety. Most significantly, the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene issued violations in January 2023 related to rodent sightings on the property, though the specific resolution of these violations is not detailed in the records.
The building has been subject to multiple complaints regarding being "Vacant, Open and Unguarded," with two complaints in 2023 and 2024; while inspections in both cases (February 2023 and November 2024) found no violations at the time of inspection, the recurring nature of these complaints raises concerns about property security. Additionally, there was a Construction Enforcement Work Order in November 2024 that resulted in an Oath Violation being served.
On a more positive note, the building has maintained a bedbug-free status, with no reported infestations or eradications between November 2022 and October 2023, and no re-infestations since. The property is owned by Carmen Poggi and was originally constructed in 1901.
