502 Glenmore Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The three-unit residential building at 502 Glenmore Avenue in East New York, owned by Chris Lewis, has experienced several significant maintenance issues since its construction in 2013. Most notably, in May 2023, there were multiple complaints about heat and hot water issues affecting both the entire building and individual apartments, with three separate emergency housing maintenance code complaints filed. These complaints revealed specific violations in Apartment 2, including inadequate hot water at fixtures, and problems with plastered surfaces and paint defects in the bathroom and another room.

The building's heating system maintenance raised additional concerns, with violations issued for locked access to the heating system and an unmet requirement to file annual bedbug reports. The property has also faced other notable issues recently, including an inadequate sprinkler system complaint in April 2023 (though inspectors were unable to gain access), and a report of building shaking or vibration in June 2023, which was investigated but no violations were found. However, it's worth noting that the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all four annual bedbug reports from 2021 to 2024 showing zero affected units, and rodent inspections show an initial passing result from 2012.

A notable compliance improvement was observed with the certification of repairs completed in August 2023, including the correction of various violations related to paint and plaster conditions in Apartment 2, and a July 2023 certification regarding access to the heating system, though these repairs were initially documented in 2023 violations. These repair records indicate varying degrees of attention to maintenance issues, particularly during 2023 when multiple violations were issued and subsequently addressed. The building's systems and infrastructure have shown some recurring maintenance challenges, particularly regarding heating and safety systems, though there appears to be ongoing compliance efforts by management to address and resolve these issues as they arise.
