919 Saratoga Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11212

919 Saratoga Avenue is a 2-story, 4-unit New Law Tenement building built in 1930, currently owned by Victoria Stennett and located in the Brownsville neighborhood. The building's record shows several significant maintenance issues over recent years, with the most pressing concerns being an open violation for failing to submit annual bedbug reports as required by HPD (dating back to inspections in March and April 2024), and multiple outstanding violations from October 2022 that raise safety and habitability concerns.

These violations include defective fire egress via an iron ladder to roof scuttle, broken fire retardant plaster at ceilings, a slow water leak, and unsanitary sewage conditions. The building also has several open violations related to safety and maintenance of common areas, such as a requirement to remove encumbering household items from the public hall, properly repair and paint hall ceilings and walls, ensure proper posting of building registration and carbon monoxide detector requirements, and address issues with an unsecured iron ladder.

The property has documented two specific service requests in September 2022 related to water leaks and sewage problems, both of which were eventually closed after inspection. The building's current status as of October 2023 shows multiple unresolved violations from 2022 that affect both resident safety and comfort, particularly regarding fire safety systems, structural maintenance, and pest control compliance. While some issues from the 2022 service requests have been addressed, the persistence of open violations suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
