417 Pennsylvania Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 417 Pennsylvania Avenue in East New York, owned by Rommel Daniel and constructed in 1901, has experienced several notable issues in recent years. The property has open violations from 2021 to 2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations.

During 2019, there were multiple heat and hot water complaints, both for individual apartments and the entire building, though HPD was unable to gain access to conduct inspections. There were also door-related issues in 2019, with investigations revealing violations that resulted in emergency complaints, and subsequent inspections noted problems with the entrance door in Apartment 1. A significant cluster of violations was documented in July 2019, including issues with door self-closing mechanisms, mailbox inspection certificate placement, and various required safety notices regarding carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and housing information guides, all of which remain unresolved as of the current date.

The building has had persistent rodent issues, with multiple bait applications recorded between April and September 2019, following earlier rat activity inspections in 2016 and 2019. While some of these problems were addressed through inspections and corrective actions, many remain unresolved, particularly the bedbug report violations and various safety notice requirements. The building's documented history shows a pattern of maintenance and compliance challenges that warrant attention.
