549 Alabama Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

549 Alabama Avenue is a three-story, six-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Ismene Speliotis. The building has experienced several notable maintenance issues over the past decade, with the most recent inspection in March 2023 resulting in a Housing Maintenance Code violation related to the failure to file an annual bedbug report.

In 2018, violations were documented concerning fire safety, including obstructed fire escapes on the second-story balcony and accumulated refuse under the drop ladder, both of which were certified as corrected by December 2018. A specific fire egress issue was noted in December 2017 regarding defective window bars or gates in the 1F apartment, which was eventually resolved by September 2022.

While there was a rodent sighting reported in July 2019, the subsequent inspection in August 2019 passed without issues. However, it's worth noting that multiple bedbug reports have been filed between 2020 and 2024, with all indicating zero infested or eradicated units, suggesting consistent compliance with extermination protocols. The building's rodent inspections from 2012 and 2019 both passed, indicating general pest control measures are being addressed, though these inspections are relatively infrequent compared to other building systems.
