937 Saratoga Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The 2-story, 4-unit building at 937 Saratoga Avenue in Brownsville, owned by Allison Connell, has a documented history of maintenance issues and regulatory violations spanning several years. The property, built in 1930 and classified as a New Law tenement, faced multiple complaints in October 2021 related to unsanitary conditions, including pest infestations, water leaks, and wall maintenance issues, though many of these complaints were closed due to lack of access for inspection. More recently, in 2023, the building attracted significant attention from city agencies when inspections revealed unauthorized modifications to the cellar, including the conversion into a club space with DJ equipment and a bar, as well as hazardous storage conditions in the boiler room area.

These modifications prompted Environmental Control Board violations, though they were resolved with no penalties imposed. The building's maintenance history shows recurring issues with pest infestations, including documented roach and mice problems in 2019-2020, as well as concerns about water leaks and interior repairs. However, the property has demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2022, with no reported infestations or re-infestations in recent filings.

The most recent bedbug reports (2023-2024) show zero infested units. While the building has had multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations in the past, including issues with paint maintenance, window repairs, and safety equipment, many of these violations have been addressed and closed. The property has three open bedbug reports (2020-2022) related to filing annual reports, though these are more administrative in nature compared to other maintenance concerns.
