20 Skillman Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11211

20 Skillman Avenue is a three-story, two-family residential building located in Williamsburg, built in 1901 and currently owned by Emanuel Feit. The building has experienced recurring rodent-related issues over the past several years, with multiple inspection reports and service requests documented between 2019 and 2022, though most recent inspections in 2022 (December, September, and February) passed successfully.

The property has significant active violations regarding low-pressure inspection requirements, with four outstanding violations issued between April and June 2023 for failure to file 2022-2023 external low-pressure inspections, as well as an active Environmental Control Board violation from 2019 concerning various boiler-related issues including illegal fan blocking fresh air, improper boiler conditions, and storage violations, for which a penalty of $625 was imposed. The building's history includes several food establishment-related complaints between 2021 and 2022, all of which were either inspected and cleared or administratively closed, covering issues such as food worker hygiene, dishwashing/utensils, and food temperature concerns. Two rodent-related complaints in 2022 (December 22 and January 24) were inspected by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, which found no violations in December 2022.

The building's mechanical systems have shown some maintenance concerns, including a defective/inoperative boiler complaint in 2019 which resulted in an Oath violation being served, and an illegal/ improper vent/exhaust complaint that also resulted in no violations being warranted at the time of inspection. A building permit was issued in November 2018 for a project under job number 320998961, though specific details about the work performed are not provided in the available data. The property's most pressing current concerns are the active violations regarding the failure to file required low-pressure inspections for multiple years, which could potentially impact building safety and systems performance.
