944 Marcy Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216

944 Marcy Avenue is a 24-unit, 6-story brick residential building constructed in 1925 in Bedford-Stuyvesant, currently owned by Marcy Avenue Associates, LLC. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues in early 2025, with multiple emergency complaints from residents between January and February 2025, though HPD inspections indicated restoration of services during their response. Additional concerns emerged in early 2025, including plumbing issues (basin/sink), slow water leaks, and window frame problems, most of which resulted in HPD's inability to gain inspection access.

The building's history shows significant maintenance issues in Apartment 3D, documented in September 2024 violations, including problems with the electric intercom system, plaster surfaces, smoke detector, visible mold, pest infestation, and defective self-closing doors - all of which were marked as resolved. The property has undergone various inspections and violations from 2018 to 2025, including elevator complaints in 2021-2022 that resulted in no violations being found. Bedbug reports between 2019 and 2024 show no infestations.

The building's rodent inspections have shown variable results, with rat activity noted in September 2023 and multiple passed inspections throughout 2024. Several permits for work have been issued between 2018 and 2021, indicating ongoing maintenance and repair activities. While the building shows consistent efforts to address maintenance issues through permit requests and violation resolutions, the recurring nature of heat/hot water problems and other maintenance issues suggests ongoing challenges with building systems.
