601 Marcy Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206
601 Marcy Avenue is a 5-story, 22-unit residential building constructed in 1931 in Bedford-Stuyvesant, currently owned by Claudette Henry. The building has experienced persistent plumbing and maintenance issues in recent years, with multiple water supply complaints submitted between April 2025 and June 2025, some requiring HPD inspections and resulting in both open and closed violations.
A significant concern is the active water damage and ceiling issues, with violations from December 2024 and August 2023 showing water damage affecting multiple apartments (2B, 5C), along with problems with roof leaks and ceiling maintenance. The building has also faced structural and safety challenges, including two "building shaking/vibrating" complaints in late 2023, though these were reportedly resolved with Oath violations served. Multiple apartments have open violations related to various maintenance issues, including door problems in 5C, plumbing issues in 2B, and multiple cases of non-compliant plastering and painting requirements.
Recent inspections have revealed rodent activity throughout 2023-2025, with rat activity documented in multiple compliance inspections, though some initial inspections passed. While there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past four years, other concerning issues persist, including unsanitary conditions such as mold (June 2025) and various repair needs for windows, flooring, intercom systems, and smoke detectors across different apartments. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of recurring plumbing issues, structural concerns, and various maintenance code violations, many of which remain open as of the latest inspections.
