580 New Jersey Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The 3-unit, three-story building at 580 New Jersey Avenue in East New York, owned by James Horn, was constructed in 2004 and has undergone conversion to Class A status. The building has experienced significant maintenance challenges in recent years, particularly in 2024, when there were multiple complaints and violations recorded. Most notably, there are ongoing open violations from July 2024 in Apartment 3 concerning pest infestations (mice and roaches) and safety equipment issues (missing smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector), alongside a bedbug reporting violation from April 2024.

The period from February to May 2024 saw a cluster of complaints regarding various maintenance issues, including problems with the mailbox system, doors, cabinets, ceiling paint/plaster, appliances (electric/gas range), plumbing (basin/sink), water leaks, and the bell/buzzer/intercom system, most of which were initially marked as having open conditions requiring verification of corrections. The building has a history of pest control challenges, as evidenced by the multiple rodent and insect infestation violations in 2024, though previous rodent inspections from 2011 and 2012 showed passing results. While many of the 2024 service requests were eventually closed, several violations remain open as of October 2023.

The property's maintenance record shows a pattern of various repair needs, particularly concentrated in 2024, which may indicate ongoing maintenance challenges affecting resident comfort and safety. A Department of Buildings complaint regarding an unguarded vacant condition was investigated and found no violations in May 2025, though this occurred after the most recent data available for this report. The building's most recent bedbug filing from 2021 shows no reported infestations during the 2019-2020 period, though the situation should be monitored given the building's history of pest issues.
