108 Livonia Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The 3-story residential building at 108 Livonia Avenue in Brownsville, owned by Vincent St Catherine, has experienced recurring maintenance issues since construction in 2005, with significant problems concentrated between 2022-2024. Most recently, as of March 2024, there have been two unsanitary animal-related complaints regarding dogs that the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene could not inspect due to access issues. During early 2023, the building faced multiple heat and hot water complaints, with inspections unable to gain access to verify conditions, alongside electrical issues including no lighting.

A series of complaints in February 2023 involved various systems including heating, flooring, appliances, and water leaks, though most inspections found no violations. The building has open violations related to bedbug report filings as of 2024, and previous violations from 2022-2024 include concerns about electrical supply, infestation, water leaks, and maintenance of common areas. Emergency plumbing issues were documented in March 2023, and while an inspection in October 2022 revealed several violations in the 1st-floor apartment (including electrical service issues and infestation), most violations are currently marked as open.

Rodent inspections between 2011 and 2022 show a mix of results, with the most recent compliance failure in 2022. Two complaints regarding illegal work/permits were filed in 2022 and 2023, but inspectors were unable to gain access to the property for verification. Despite numerous service requests and violations, many inspections have been unable to determine conditions due to access issues, suggesting potential challenges with communication between tenants and management.
