446 Marcy Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206

The 23-unit, 7-story building at 446 Marcy Avenue in Williamsburg, owned by Simon Eisenfeld and constructed in 2007, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past few years. Most notably, there are three active Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations from December 2022 regarding exterior maintenance, including cracking bricks, spalling concrete at balconies, and failure to maintain the exterior building wall, with penalties totaling $12,750.

More recent concerns from February 2023 involved multiple violations requiring repairs to self-closing doors throughout the building, including fire doors in stairwells and bulkhead doors, as well as illegal padlock installations at roof bulkhead doors, though these violations were certified as corrected by March 2023. The building has faced ongoing regulatory challenges, including active DOB violations for failing to file required inspections and reports (FISP Cycle 9A Technical Report and Category 5 Inspection) as of 2022.

Additional historical issues include a complaint in July 2021 regarding work without a permit (though no violation was found), and a 2018 ECB violation regarding unpermitted installation of air conditioning units. While the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs in recent years, with no reported infestations from 2019 through 2024, it has experienced intermittent rodent activity, with inspections in 2019 showing rat activity in July and September. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with both regulatory compliance and building system maintenance, particularly regarding fire safety systems and exterior maintenance.
