194 Vernon Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206
194 Vernon Avenue is an 8-unit, 4-story old law tenement building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Robert Calcagno. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, most notably with heat and hot water systems, as evidenced by multiple complaints including a March 2025 emergency report that was closed due to lack of access for inspection. The property has also dealt with pest-related challenges, particularly rodents, with multiple inspections showing rat activity between 2024 and 2025, though the most recent July 2025 inspection passed successfully.
The building's health and safety compliance records show some concerning patterns, including three separate Housing Maintenance Code violations recorded between 2021 and 2023 related to bedbug reporting requirements, though subsequent filings from 2022 to 2025 indicate no units were infested or required eradication. The property has a documented history of health and safety inspections, with rodent-related issues being particularly notable. Between 2024 and 2025, there were multiple instances of rat activity recorded during initial inspections, though several subsequent compliance inspections passed.
The building also faced a rodent complaint in May 2024, and a heat and hot water complaint in March 2025 that could not be properly investigated. While the bedbug violation notices issued in 2021, 2022, and 2023 indicated an administrative oversight requiring the annual report submission, the subsequent filings through 2025 show no actual bedbug infestations. The building's inspection records reveal a mix of compliance and violation outcomes, with particular attention needed to its recurring heating system issues and pest management challenges, though the situation appears to have stabilized somewhat in recent months as of mid-2025.
