1035 Manhattan Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11222

1035 Manhattan Avenue is a 4-story, 6-unit residential building constructed in 1928, currently owned by Robert Speranza. The property has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years. Most concerning is the current open violation regarding an air conditioning unit obstructing egress from a fire escape on the 3rd story balcony (2023) and multiple open bedbug-related violations from 2023-2024.

The building has a history of plumbing and water supply problems, with both emergency and non-emergency complaints through HPD in 2023-2024. In August 2022, several emergency complaints were recorded, including issues with fire escapes, doors, and unsanitary conditions with pests. Notably, there was a significant period of construction work in late 2019-2020 that resulted in multiple ECB violations for work without a permit, improper debris storage, and construction infrastructure issues, though these were ultimately resolved with penalties.

The building's maintenance history shows recurring issues with windows, doors, flooring, and pest infestations, particularly in Apartment 4F, which had multiple violations pertaining to interior deterioration and pest problems in 2022. The property's annual exterior low-pressure inspection filings have been consistently missed from 2018-2023, currently resulting in active violations. While rodent inspections in 2018 showed varying results with periods of bait application, the most recent inspections have not been documented in the provided records. All identified violations have been officially recorded and addressed through the appropriate channels, with most historical issues having been closed, though several open violations remain active as of 2025.
