40 Marcy Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11211
The 4-story, 7-unit residential building at 40 Marcy Avenue in Williamsburg, owned by Denis Eagle and built in 1920, has recently experienced ongoing heating system challenges, with multiple complaints regarding lack of heat and hot water affecting the entire building during January 2025. This pattern of heating issues appears to be persistent, with similar complaints documented throughout late 2024, and similar problems observed in 2018 and 2021.
The building has also faced structural concerns, as evidenced by a 2025 violation noting dislodged/loose bricks, cracked sills, and deteriorating mortar joints requiring a corrective action plan, along with an active ECB violation from 2023 regarding unauthorized occupancy of an enclosed structure at the rear of the property. The property has a documented history of safety code violations, particularly related to building systems.
These include past violations for missing smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and defective self-closing doors in 1L and 2R apartments (all addressed by 2022), as well as maintenance issues regarding the boiler room doors and garbage receptacle requirements noted in 2021. Additionally, while the building has no recorded bedbug infestations since 2019, earlier inspections in 2019-2021 showed rat activity on two occasions (2019 and 2021), though subsequent inspections in 2021 for rodents resulted in passing grades. Three construction-related complaints between 2020-2023 indicate past concerns about building modifications and illegal conversions, though these were either resolved or documented as "Inspector Unable To Gain Access."
