88 Livonia Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11212

88 Livonia Avenue is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building constructed in 1930 in Brownsville, currently owned by Ilya Zavolunov. The building has experienced several notable maintenance and safety issues over recent years, with the most pressing concerns emerging primarily in 2019. Between April and May 2019, there were multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water outages, with violations issued on April 3, 2019.

Other issues during this period included problems with window guards, doors, and electrical systems, though inspections on these matters did not result in violations. More recent history includes a window frame complaint in 2021, which HPD was unable to inspect, and annual bedbug reporting compliance with no infestations reported from 2021 through 2024. The building currently has several open violations from 2019 related to sprinkler system maintenance requirements, including the need for specific equipment and seals in the cellar area.

Other open violations from 2019 concern emergency notice posting requirements, including heating system access information, gas leak procedures, and building registration information. A complaint regarding an alleged illegal conversion was filed in August 2019, though access was denied during inspections. While the building has maintained a consistent record of no bedbug infestations in recent years, the multiple maintenance issues documented in 2019, particularly regarding heat and hot water systems, suggest historical challenges with building systems functioning properly, though it's worth noting that many complaints were closed with no violations found during inspections.
