512 Vermont Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The three-story, three-unit tenement building at 512 Vermont Street in East New York, owned by Floyd London, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent heat and hot water complaint occurring in January 2025 affecting the entire building. The building, constructed in 1910, has documented multiple safety and sanitation concerns, particularly in Apartment 2, which have resulted in several open violations as of 2024.

These include issues with pest infestations (cockroaches and mice), mold problems, and inadequate heating systems, along with safety concerns related to missing safety equipment such as smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors. April 2023 inspections revealed multiple code violations in Apartment 2, including problems with window sashes, ceiling maintenance, water leaks, and the need for proper repairs to various fixtures. The building's recent maintenance history shows a pattern of heating system problems, with multiple complaints recorded in 2022 and 2025 regarding inadequate heat and hot water.

The property has also faced unsanitary conditions involving pests and mold, though inspections often found no violations or were unable to inspect the affected units. While bedbug reports from 2020-2021 showed no infestations, and rodent inspections from 2010 to 2019 generally passed, the more recent violations and maintenance issues suggest ongoing challenges with building upkeep. The property has been subject to multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations, with one open violation as of April 2024 regarding annual bedbug reporting requirements and several open violations from 2023 related to various maintenance and safety issues in Apartment 2.
