417 New Lots Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The two-story residential building at 417 New Lots Avenue in East New York, owned by Ronald Evelyn, has experienced several significant events since its construction in 1930. The property has been the subject of multiple Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) investigations since 2018, with the most recent incident from May 2025 involving a complaint about food containing a foreign object. Notably, there is an active food poisoning complaint from May 2023 that remains unresolved as of October 2023.

The building has also faced recurring food safety issues, including multiple instances of bare hands handling food (2020, 2019), food spoilage (2019), and food temperature violations (2023), though many of these complaints were administrative closed after investigation. Recent housing maintenance records show both progress and ongoing concerns. A violation from October 2023 regarding broken or defective ceramic floor tiles in the public hall was certified as corrected by December 2023.

However, there are three open Class C violations from August 2019 concerning self-closing doors at various locations including the entrance, boiler room, and first-floor apartment - issues that directly impact building security and safety. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all eight annual reporting periods from 2019 through 2025 showing zero infested units. The most recent rodent inspections from 2012 and 2020 both passed, indicating generally good pest management.
