76 Vermont Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207
The two-family house at 76 Vermont Street in Cypress Hills, owned by Laura Li, has experienced several significant issues since its construction in 2007. The building has been the subject of multiple investigations regarding its legal occupancy status, with the most recent activity occurring in 2025-2024, including three active or recently active illegal conversion complaints and violations suggesting unauthorized conversion from a legal 2-family to a 3-family residence by creating a cellar-level apartment.
The property has documented safety violations, including a 2021 Housing Maintenance Code violation for an illegal double-cylinder key-operated lock and multiple issues in 2019 such as a defective light fixture, an insect infestation, and concerns about illegal cooking space in the cellar. Although some violations have been resolved, including a 2020 CO detector issue and a 2022 bathroom light bulb problem, there are ongoing concerns about unpermitted modifications, as indicated by active Environmental Control Board violations from 2024 totaling $2,500 in penalties related to unauthorized cellar modifications including partition walls, plumbing, and electrical work.
The building's maintenance history shows various quality-of-life issues including lighting problems and a documented insect infestation in 2019, though more recent inspections have not indicated similar violations. A 2025 complaint regarding an inadequate fence and an illegal curb cut/driveway are also currently under review. The property has passed rodent inspections in 2022 and 2012, suggesting that while some maintenance issues have been addressed, significant concerns about legal occupancy status and recent construction violations remain.
