272 Glenmore Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

272 Glenmore Avenue is a three-story, six-unit converted Class A residential building in East New York, built in 1930 and currently owned by Shalom Minsky. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, with the most recent cluster of complaints in June 2025 including water leaks, safety concerns regarding smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and pest-related unsanitary conditions - all of which inspectors were unable to verify due to access issues. Earlier in 2025, there were also complaints about heat/hot water problems and ceiling conditions.

The building's history shows persistent challenges with various maintenance issues, including a pattern of ceiling-related problems, particularly affecting unit 2F in 2019, which received multiple violations for plaster and paint conditions, floor defects, and other repair needs. There were also concerning structural issues noted in 2021 relating to building shaking, with inspection results temporarily requiring a vacate order that was subsequently rescinded. From 2019 to 2024, the property has accumulated several Department of Buildings (DOB) violations and Environmental Control Board (ECB) fines related to building maintenance and compliance issues, including multiple instances of failure to comply with bedbug reporting requirements, excessive debris conditions in the backyard, and electrical work violations.

A potentially active DOB violation from 2021 remains on record regarding non-structural damage to an exterior wall. While recent bedbug and rodent inspection records show no current infestations (with zero units reported as infested in the past three years), the building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic building systems. The property has undergone various permitted work between 2019 and 2021, including electrical work, though specific details about these improvements are less documented in the available records.
