198 Vermont Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207
The three-story, three-unit tenement at 198 Vermont Street in East New York, owned by Mike Versailles and dating to 1910, has encountered numerous maintenance issues in recent years. Most concerning are the recent cluster of complaints from September 2024, where all HPD inspections for allegations of mold, power outages, wall damage, and sewage problems were unable to be completed due to access issues, suggesting potentialongoing maintenance challenges. Earlier in August 2024, there were similar access issues for multiple complaints including plumbing, electrical, and sewage problems.
The building has a recurring pattern of maintenance issues, with multiple unsanitary condition complaints including sewage and mold between 2022 and 2024. Of particular note is the open violation from April 2024 regarding failure to file the required annual bedbug report, which has been a consistent violation each year since 2021. The property has experienced significant infrastructure problems, including power outages and inadequate lighting in 2024, as well as plumbing issues affecting toilets and hot water fixtures.
Historical records show three consecutive failed rodent inspections between 2010 and 2011, though subsequent inspections in 2012 showed compliance. Additional building safety concerns include open violations from 2018 regarding access to the heating system and mailbox issues, though a 2022 inspection found no violations related to a mold complaint. The most recent complaint regarding an illegal conversion from September 2024 remains active as of November 2024, with the inspector unable to gain access for verification. While the building has passed some inspections over the years, the recent pattern of maintenance issues and inspection access problems suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and compliance requirements.
