939 Saratoga Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The two-story, four-unit residential building at 939 Saratoga Avenue in Brownsville, owned by Nelson Carryl, has a documented history dating back to its 1930 construction as a New Law Tenement. The property has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues, particularly notable during an emergency situation in October 2020 when multiple complaints were filed about both apartment-specific and building-wide systems failures. These incidents were not successfully investigated due to access issues.

More recently, in late 2023, there were two attempted inspections regarding possible illegal commercial use of the property, though access was denied in both cases. The building's maintenance history shows attention to pest control, with bedbug reporting requirements being appropriately fulfilled since 2021, showing zero infested units throughout this period. Earlier violations from the 1980s and 2000s included various safety and maintenance issues such as inadequate lighting in entrance areas, a missing guard rail around the cellar stairwell, and a locked heating system access door.

These historical violations have all been documented as closed. Of particular note is a 2022 bedbug-related violation regarding annual reporting requirements, though this appears to be more an administrative issue rather than a public health concern. The most recent building status reports (as of 2023-2025) indicate no current infestations or major maintenance concerns beyond the heating system access issues noted in 2020.
