531 Sutter Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The 4-unit, 3-story building at 531 Sutter Avenue, owned by Ari Worch, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past five years. Of particular concern are two open maintenance requests from June 2025 regarding problems with flooring/stairs and the building's bell/buzzer/intercom system. The property has documented persistent water-related issues, with plumbing problems reported in April 2019 and a substantial water leak in July 2020, though no violations were found in these cases.

The building has also faced rodent-related challenges, with Health Department violations noted in August 2022 and multiple rat activity inspections between late 2022 and early 2023, most recently resulting in bait application in January 2023. Earlier violations provide additional context about the building's condition. In 2020, the second-floor apartment experienced multiple maintenance issues requiring attention to plaster surfaces and ceiling repairs.

Multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations were recorded in 2019, including the need to install window guards and address various interior maintenance issues in Apartment 2. While bedbug reports from 2021 through 2024 consistently show zero infested units, the building has had two instances of failed Annual Bedbug Report filings (2019 and 2021), though this violation was ultimately closed in 2023. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing attention is required to address both pest control issues and basic building maintenance needs, particularly in the communal areas as indicated by the recent open complaints.
