784 Marcy Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216

784 Marcy Avenue is a 36-unit, 4-story residential building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Sally Gilliland. The property has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent years, with particular concerns about electrical systems, flooring, and sanitary conditions. In 2025 alone, there were multiple complaints and violations related to electrical lighting issues and flooring problems, with HPD inspections resulting in violations that required correction.

The building has active violations from April 2024 inspection revealing safety concerns in Apartments 1A and 4B, including water leaks, carbon monoxide detector issues, smoke detector problems, and rodent infestation in 4B. There are also multiple open violations regarding ceiling repairs, security doors, and unsafe conditions in various common areas. The building's water supply system had an immediate emergency plumbing issue reported in June 2025.

While the property management has demonstrated some responsiveness to complaints, as evidenced by HPD's closed case resolutions, many violations remain open or were only partially addressed. The building's systems have undergone some attention, with records showing past boiler registration issues in 2021 that were eventually resolved. On a positive note, the building has maintained a pest-free record in recent years, with no reported bedbug infestations since 2019, and the most recent rodent inspections in 2025 showed compliance with pest control requirements. However, the pattern of maintenance violations and the presence of open violations as of 2024-2025 suggest ongoing challenges with building upkeep and regulatory compliance, particularly in relation to basic safety systems and infrastructure.
