109 St Nicholas Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237
109 St Nicholas Avenue is a 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building built in 1931 and currently owned by Vincent O'Connell. The property has experienced recurring heating issues, with multiple emergency heat/hot water complaints filed between 2023 and 2025, including two open complaints as of 2024-2025. The building has also faced various safety concerns, most notably in late 2024 with issues related to carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and an open construction lead dust complaint that began in November 2024.
In April 2024, the building received several Housing Maintenance Code violations related to Apartment 2R, including problems with fire egress, missing safety detectors, and door issues, though these violations were subsequently certified as corrected. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of responsiveness to complaints, with many issues being investigated and closed by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), though access restrictions sometimes hindered inspections. Property records indicate concerns about fire safety, with a 2023 Environmental Control Board violation issued for a lock installed on an emergency exit door to the roof, and multiple historical complaints about blocked egress pathways. The building's rodent control history shows alternating patterns of activity and compliance, with rat activity noted during several inspections between 2019 and 2024, though the most recent rodent inspection in March 2025 passed.
The owner appears to have addressed some infrastructure issues, as shown by the closure of multiple violations, including two instances of locked basement doors and various safety equipment replacements. Recent bedbug reporting shows no infestations in the past three reporting periods (2022-2025), indicating effective management of this pest issue. However, there have been multiple complaints regarding heat and safety systems, suggesting ongoing building systems challenges. The building's documented history reveals a mix of maintenance responsiveness and systemic issues, particularly regarding heating systems and safety equipment, with most recent complaints focusing on these recurring concerns.
