31 Vermont Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207
31 Vermont Street is a 3-unit, 3-story old law tenement building located in Cypress Hills and constructed in 1930, currently owned by Jacqueline Espinal. The building has experienced recurring rodent issues, with the most recent rat sighting reported in February 2023 leading to identified violations, though a subsequent compliance inspection in May 2023 resulted in a passing grade. The property has maintained an open violation status over the past few years related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports for 2022, 2023, and 2024 inspections.
A comprehensive inspection in October 2021 revealed multiple violations regarding building safety requirements, including the need to post proper notices for smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and gas leak procedures, as well as maintaining proper building registration signage and inspection certificates, though most of these were subsequently closed. Additional significant issues include an illegal commercial use violation from 2022 involving unlicensed vehicle storage with approximately 9 vehicles on the property, and structural concerns related to a leaning chain-link fence that presented public safety hazards. The Department of Buildings conducted various inspections, including a building shaking complaint in 2024 that found no warranted violations at the time of inspection.
The building has a documented history of rodent-related problems dating back to 2012, with inspection results varying between passes and failures. Environmental Control Board violations were issued in 2022 for maintenance issues, including a $1,250 penalty related to the problematic fence. Despite these challenges, the property has demonstrated some compliance with city regulations through various remediation efforts, as evidenced by passing recent rodent inspections and the resolution of certain violations.
