575 Sutter Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The three-story, four-unit residential building at 575 Sutter Avenue in East New York, owned by Sutter Equities LLC, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years. Most recently, in January 2025, there was a heat and hot water emergency affecting the entire building, though conditions were reportedly restored by the time of inspection.

The building has a concerning pattern of mold-related complaints, with four separate mold incidents reported between July and September 2023 alone, and additional sanitary condition complaints in May 2022 including issues with pests and water leaks. Notable violations were documented in early 2024, including a missing carbon monoxide detector and water temperature exceeding the maximum allowable limit of 130 degrees in apartment 3, while apartment 1 had violations related to rodent infestation, plumbing issues, and various repair needs identified during a comprehensive inspection in October 2023. The building has undergone several inspections and received multiple violation notices between 2022 and 2024, with issues ranging from unsanitary conditions and water supply problems to maintenance concerns in public areas such as the third-story hall.

Recent inspections in 2023-2024 identified various maintenance needs including repairs to fire retardant materials, ceiling painting requirements, and safety concerns with self-closing doors. Importantly, the building has maintained a record of zero bedbug infestations since 2020, with the most recent annual reports for 2023-2024 showing no affected units. Prior to the current ownership, the building had passed rodent inspections in 2011 and 2012, suggesting some historical attention to pest management.
