530 Vermont Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The two-family house at 530 Vermont Street in East New York, owned by David Persaud, was built in 1901 and consists of 2 stories with 3 residential units. The most significant recent issues occurred in 2022, when the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) received multiple complaints on January 5 and May 5, 2022, regarding various maintenance and safety concerns.

The complaints, which were ultimately closed between July 28-29, 2022, included issues with carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, plumbing (toilet and sink problems), walls requiring paint/plaster work, flooring (stairs and floor issues), and cabinet problems. Notably, all these complaints were marked as requiring access for inspection, but HPD was unable to gain entry to assess the reported conditions.

Earlier records show that the building underwent rodent inspections in 2011 and 2012, both of which passed, indicating compliance with basic pest control standards at that time. The 2022 complaints, while numerous and concerning, were primarily related to safety equipment (smoke and carbon monoxide detectors) and general maintenance issues such as plumbing and interior finishes. The building's age and its two-family classification as a typical residential structure for the area are consistent with the types of maintenance issues reported in 2022.
