247 Vermont Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207
247 Vermont Street is a 4-story, 16-unit New Law tenement building in East New York, built in 1930 and currently owned by David Kugel. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, most notably during a cluster of complaints in April 2024 where multiple tenants reported outages affecting the entire building. A recent unsanitary conditions complaint regarding garbage/recycling storage was filed in February 2025 and resulted in violations, though these were not specified in detail.
The building has a concerning history of egress safety violations, with multiple complaints in 2024-2025 regarding locked/blocked emergency exits, resulting in an environmental control board violation in November 2024 for an obstructed fire escape. Previous violations related to egress were recorded in 2021, indicating this has been an ongoing problem. The property has also faced pest-related issues, with violations in March 2024 concerning both pests and building maintenance, and specific violations issued for Apartment 8 regarding plumbing, electrical, and pest control issues.
The building's maintenance history shows some improvements, as evidenced by recent bedbug reporting (2022-2024) showing zero infested units, and rodent inspections have shown variable results, with some passing inspections and others indicating rat activity between 2015 and 2021. Multiple violations related to door mechanisms and security were documented in 2024, though these were eventually resolved through proper certification. The building's violation history demonstrates a pattern of maintenance and safety compliance challenges, particularly concerning heating systems and egress safety.
