818 Marcy Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216
818 Marcy Avenue is a 3-story, 12-unit old law tenement building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant and owned by Harry Ark. Built in 1899, this property has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant recurring problem being heat and hot water service failures. In January 2024, there were four separate emergency complaints regarding heat and hot water problems throughout the entire building, though these issues were resolved upon HPD's inspection.
The building faced multiple violations for failure to file external low-pressure inspections between 2019-2024, though these violations were subsequently dismissed. A concerning pattern of rat activity has been documented through multiple inspections between 2024 and 2025, with the most recent rodent inspection showing "Passed" status in February 2025, following several bait applications in late 2023. The building's maintenance history shows a mix of resolved issues, including various building system problems noted in 2022-2023, such as an electrical light fixture in Apartment 1D, door repairs, and several issues with the building's entry systems (mailbox, door glass panes, and locks).
A 2019 violation regarding plumbing work under a job permit was also resolved with a new master plumber being assigned. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with zero reported cases in the past three annual reporting periods (2023-2025). Recent inspections and permit activity, particularly the issuance of plumbing permits in 2023, suggest ongoing maintenance and repair work is being addressed, though the building's age and history of service interruptions indicate that some infrastructure systems may require continued monitoring.
