619 Marcy Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206

The 3-unit, 2-story residential building at 619 Marcy Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Joel Kornbluh, was constructed in 2005 and has experienced several notable events regarding maintenance and safety compliance over the past five years. Most recently, in March 2023, the building received a housing maintenance code violation for not filing the required annual bedbug report, though subsequent filings from 2024-2025 indicate no infestations during the 12-month periods. In 2022, violations were recorded for both bedbug reporting and a defective fire door in the cellar boiler room, which was repaired by June 2022.

The building has had consistent rodent inspections, with all results showing "Passed" in 2023-2025, though there was "Rat Activity" noted in August 2022 and February 2022. Multiple violations were documented in 2018, including issues with illegal locks at security gates, missing fire retardant ceiling repairs, water leaks in the cellar, and the need for proper gas leak notification procedures, all of which were subsequently addressed and certified as corrected between May and June 2018. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing violations within reasonable timeframes, with most issues being promptly corrected and closed.

The property has maintained a regular schedule of rodent inspections since 2020, with recent years showing consistent compliance. The bedbug reporting requirements, which initially resulted in violations from 2021 through early 2023, have been properly filed in 2024 and 2025, showing no instances of infestation or re-infestation. While the building has experienced various maintenance challenges over the years, the most recent record shows improved compliance with housing maintenance codes and safety requirements.
