614 Vermont Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

614 Vermont Street is a two-story, 4-unit New Law Tenement building located in East New York, constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Deborah Morgan. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with the most significant concerns being related to electrical systems and water infrastructure. In early 2021, multiple electrical-related complaints were filed and subsequently investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), including issues with wiring and outlets, though no violations were issued.

A concerning cluster of emergencies in January 2020 included problems with heat/hot water, electrical systems, and appliance issues. The building also faced water leakage and ceiling paint/plaster issues in February 2019. More recent developments show four open violations pertaining to the failure to file annual bedbug reports between 2020 and 2024, though these are administrative in nature.

Historical records from 2020 indicate significant maintenance challenges in Apartment 1R, including multiple plumbing issues, pest infestations, and problems with electrical and gas supplies, all of which were eventually closed after proper repairs were made. Two complaints regarding illegal conversion and non-conforming zoning were filed in 2018 and 2021, respectively, but inspectors were unable to gain access to the property for verification. The building's rodent inspections from 2011 and 2012 passed, indicating no significant pest issues during those evaluations.
