690 Bristol Street, Brooklyn, NY 11236

The two-story, four-unit tenement building at 690 Bristol Street in Brownsville, owned by Coreen Campbell and constructed in 1930, has experienced several significant maintenance and health challenges over the past few years. Most notably, in early 2024, the building faced multiple emergency complaints and violations related to unsanitary conditions, specifically concerning mold issues, particularly in apartment 2R, which also reported problems with pests including mice and roaches.

These conditions prompted housing maintenance code violations requiring mold abatement and addressing roof leaks affecting ceilings. While some of these violations were addressed and closed by March 2024, others remain open, including a 2024 violation regarding the annual bedbug report filing requirement, which has been a recurring issue in prior years (2021-2023). The building's recent history shows a pattern of moisture and pest-related problems, particularly concentrated in apartment 2R.

The Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) department conducted multiple inspections in early 2024, responding to complaints about mold and ceiling issues, though in some cases, inspectors were unable to access the affected areas. While some improvements were made, including the resolution of certain mold and water issues by mid-2024, the persistence of open violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements suggests ongoing administrative compliance challenges. The building's age and the documented maintenance issues throughout the past few years indicate a need for continued attention to building conditions and regulatory compliance, particularly concerning moisture control, pest management, and record-keeping requirements.
