508 Thatford Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The 3-unit, 3-story residential building at 508 Thatford Avenue in Brownsville, owned by Masood Azizi and constructed in 2004, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over its history. The most recent concern, logged in April 2024, involves an inaccessible inspection request regarding pests, which was closed due to lack of access.

The building has faced multiple heating and water issues, particularly notable during a November 2019 incident affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, warranting emergency response from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). Housing violations remain open for 2023-2024 relating to required annual bedbug reporting documentation, while previous violations from 2020 include exposed electrical wiring in the first-story public hall, concerns about scuttle ladder encumbrances, and a defective entrance door locking device - all categorized as class B violations requiring correction. The building's maintenance record shows recurring concerns about building systems and safety features, particularly during 2019 when multiple complaints were filed regarding plumbing, electrical issues, and a sewage odor.

Violations documented in December 2019 indicated the presence of mold (approximately 12 square feet) in Apartment 2, along with problems requiring repair of a window frame, carbon monoxide detector issues, and safety concerns. Earlier issues included problems with window frames (September 2019), mold (August 2018), and various plumbing and electrical concerns. A rodent inspection conducted in January 2019 was passed, while a bedbug reporting period from 2020-2021 showed zero infestations or re-infested units, though subsequent bedbug-related documentation requirements remain open as of 2024.
