493 Glenmore Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

493 Glenmore Avenue is a two-family residential building located in East New York, constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Bibi Rahamatulla. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues recently, with three separate emergencies reported between January 2-21, 2025, though some of these were reportedly resolved upon inspection. The building has faced persistent pest control challenges, particularly with cockroach infestations in Apartment 2, as evidenced by multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations issued in 2024 (February, June, July, and October).

These vermin issues appear to be linked to multiple emergency complaints throughout 2024. The building has a history of serious maintenance concerns, including a pattern of unpermitted renovation work in 2021-2022 that prompted multiple violation notices and subsequent fines totaling over $10,000, though these violations were eventually resolved. There was also an incident of construction-related structural concerns in mid-2022 that required an engineer's report.

While a rodent inspection in December 2022 passed, an earlier inspection in February 2022 failed for unspecified reasons. The property had some documented issues with heating systems throughout 2020-2025, with most recent complaints being classified as emergencies requiring immediate attention. While many of these issues were eventually resolved, their recurring nature suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The building underwent a series of Department of Buildings inspections and sweeps between 2021-2022, with most resulting in no violations being found at the time of inspection, though several related complaints regarding permits and construction work were documented.
