624 Vermont Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

624 Vermont Street is a 3-unit, 2-story residential building located in East New York, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Gina Franco LLC. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly with water systems, as evidenced by three significant water-related complaints in the past two years: a heavy flow leak in early 2024, a slow leak in mid-2023, and multiple heat/hot water complaints in December 2022 affecting the entire building. These incidents have exhibited patterns of access denial during HPD inspections, raising concerns about maintenance responsiveness.

The building's third-floor unit (Unit 3) has several open violations from 2018 related to water and structural issues, including problems with hot water supply, leaking fixtures, mold, and various maintenance deficiencies in walls, windows, and plumbing. Multiple bedbug reports filed between 2021 and 2023 show no infestations during the reporting periods, and recent rodent inspections (2011, 2012, 2022) have passed successfully. The property has undergone periodic safety inspections, with most recent concerns addressed through appropriate channels, including the installation of safety features such as smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in 2019.

While the building has an active permit issued in January 2023 for work classified as "EW," specific details about the scope of work are not provided in the available data. The building's maintenance history shows a mix of emergency and non-emergency complaints, with several closed cases where violations were not issued. The pattern of access denial during inspections, particularly for heat/hot water and water leak complaints, suggests potential challenges in addressing maintenance issues when they arise.
