172 Vernon Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206
The three-story, five-unit building at 172 Vernon Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Moshe Deutsch, has experienced ongoing maintenance and health challenges since at least 2018. Most recently, in March 2025, the building faced issues with water leaks causing damp spots and mold, though HPD inspections were unable to gain access to verify these conditions. The building has a documented history of water-related problems, including a significant water leak in September 2020.
Other persistent concerns include rodent activity, with multiple inspections showing either rat activity or requiring bait application between 2022 and 2025, though recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 have passed successfully. The property has also experienced several violations related to construction safety and building maintenance, particularly during 2018-2019, including issues with construction site safety, inadequate guard rails, and missing safety notifications. During this period, multiple citations were issued for failing to maintain proper construction safety measures, though most were ultimately resolved or dismissed. While bedbug reports from 2022-2024 show zero infested units, the building's most recent inspections have shown improved compliance with health and safety regulations, passing multiple rodent inspections in 2024-2025 and maintaining current bedbug reporting compliance.
The building's violation history reveals significant regulatory oversight, with multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations related to safety notifications and building management requirements in 2021, though these were subsequently addressed. The property has maintained regular bedbug and rodent inspections, with the most recent bedbug report (2024-2025) showing no infested units. While the building has experienced various maintenance challenges over the years, the pattern of complaints suggests responsive management, as many issues are addressed through regular inspections and compliance measures. The most pressing ongoing concern appears to be the water-related issues reported in early 2025, though as of April 2025, these remain unverified due to inspection access issues.
