39 Debevoise Street, Brooklyn, NY 11206

The 5-unit, 4-story building at 39 Debevoise Street in Williamsburg, owned by Martin Quinones, has experienced several noteworthy events since its 2011 construction. Most concerning is the building's current status regarding safety compliance, with multiple open violations as of September 2023 that require attention, including issues with self-closing fire doors on the 3rd and 4th stories, and various public hall notice requirements involving smoke detector, carbon monoxide, gas leak, and bedbug reporting that remain unaddressed.

While a May 2023 HPD inspection related to fire escape safety found no violations, and a March 2022 rat sighting complaint was resolved with no violations found, the building has accumulated multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) violations. These include an active violation from June 2023 regarding improper roof leader connection to building drain, and previous issues involving unauthorized construction, including an unpermitted 18'x18' metal structure for displaying grocery products, along with multiple violations regarding building maintenance and safety protocols.

The property has undergone several inspections in recent years, with notable enforcement actions taken in 2023, including Oath Violations served for certain complaints. A significant number of open violations as of September 2023 relate to required safety postings and notifications within the building, suggesting potential lapses in maintaining current safety protocols. The building is relatively new, constructed in 2011, but the accumulation of various violations and the presence of multiple open safety-related issues as of 2023 warrant careful attention to building maintenance practices and regulatory compliance history, particularly regarding fire safety and proper documentation of safety systems.
