506 Georgia Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The two-family house at 506 Georgia Avenue in East New York, owned by Patrick Bennett Jr., is a 2-story, 2-unit building constructed in 1910. The property has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, most notably in October 2023, when multiple complaints were filed and investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

These recent complaints included concerns about pests, mold, window/frames, various appliances (refrigerator and electric/gas range), and plumbing issues (basin/sink and bathtub/shower), with violations specifically noted for the bathtub and sink plumbing problems. The building is also dealing with ongoing violations from the October 2023 inspection, including issues with a leaking roof in the public hall, broken porcelain surfaces in the bathtub, sink waste line connections, and a non-functional carbon monoxide detector in the second-floor apartment. Additionally, violations were noted for the public hall's plaster surfaces and paint requirements, along with a mold condition affecting the ceiling.

Earlier history reveals the building faced significant electrical issues in December 2022, including multiple power outages and an emergency heat/hot water complaint affecting the entire building. The property has also undergone various inspections over the years, with the most recent inspections occurring in 2023 showing multiple outstanding violations. While the building passed rodent inspections in 2011 and 2012, the recent surge in maintenance complaints suggests an ongoing pattern of infrastructure challenges, particularly concerning plumbing, electrical systems, and basic maintenance requirements.
