523 Vermont Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207
The 74-unit, 5-story building at 523 Vermont Street in East New York, owned by Ilsoo Kim and constructed in 1930, has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent years, particularly regarding basic services and building systems. Most recently, in May 2025, there were two complaints about electric/gas ranges that HPD could not inspect. Earlier in 2025, multiple complaints were filed regarding plumbing issues (bathtub/shower, basin/sink, and toilet), heat/hot water problems in the entire building, and unsanitary conditions including mold, though inspections found no violations in these cases.
The building has also had recurring elevator issues, with multiple complaints about the single device with no alternate service between 2023-2025, though inspections often found no violations. The property has faced various other maintenance challenges, including electrical lighting issues (with violations issued), plumbing problems, and a general cabinet issue in February 2025. A December 2024 inspection revealed mouse infestations in apartments 3A, 3G, and 4G, along with multiple maintenance issues including broken window balances, defective radiator covers, and hot water problems in apartment 4G.
The building has a documented history of bedbug (three instances between 2020-2024) and rodent issues (with failed inspections in 2011 and 2016). Environmental Control Board violations from 2018-2020 indicate recurring elevator maintenance problems, including issues with emergency phones and leaks, though these were eventually resolved. The building's recent inspection history shows some improvement, with most violations being closed, but ongoing issues with heat/hot water systems and elevator reliability remain significant concerns.
