506 New Jersey Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The three-story, three-unit building at 506 New Jersey Avenue in East New York, owned by Francine Ramotar, has a documented history of various maintenance issues dating back to 2021. Most notably, there have been multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water issues affecting the entire building in 2022, with four separate incidents reported between February and November.

These emergencies were generally resolved relatively quickly, although access for inspection was sometimes a problem. The building has also experienced several plumbing and general maintenance issues, including problems with the bell/buzzer/intercom system in late 2021 which received violation notices. More recent concerns include a rodent sighting in September 2023 that could not be investigated due to access issues, though a June 2022 inspection did find no violations.

Two open violations related to annual bedbug reporting requirements have been noted in 2024 and 2023, and there is an active ECB violation from April 2022 regarding unpermitted work involving window and door modifications, with a penalty of $1,250. While the building has passed regular rodent inspections in 2012 and 2019, the frequency of heating system problems and plumbing issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has experienced periodic issues with its electrical and water systems, and records indicate some difficulties with the building's intercom system.
