518 Pennsylvania Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207
This four-story, 19-unit New Law Tenement building at 518 Pennsylvania Avenue in East New York, owned by Meredith Marshall, was built in 1930 and has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, the building has ongoing pest problems, with multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations including an active infestation of mice in apartment 3C as of May 2024. The property has also faced various infrastructure challenges in 2024-2025, including issues with plumbing (specifically sink problems), electrical systems (including an open violation for a defective electrical outlet in apartment 3C), and sanitation concerns.
Multiple 311 service requests were filed in May 2024 regarding intercom system failures, unsanitary conditions, and plumbing issues, resulting in housing violations. The building's history shows some concerning patterns, particularly regarding resident comfort and safety. In 2022, apartment 3D was cited for missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, though these violations have since been addressed.
There have been persistent problems with building systems, as illustrated by multiple service requests and violations between 2024 and 2025, including issues with doors, appliances, and general maintenance. While the building has maintained a bedbug-free status according to annual reports from 2019 through 2024, a rodent inspection in 2020 revealed rat activity, and earlier inspections in 2011 and 2012 passed without issue. The most recent inspection records indicate ongoing violations that have not been resolved as of the latest available data.
