645 Vermont Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207
645 Vermont Street is a 3-story, 5-unit New Law tenement building located in East New York and owned by Ron Cohen. The building, constructed in 1930, has experienced recurring pest management issues, evidenced by multiple rodent complaints between 2018 and 2019, with inspections showing continued violations. In recent years, the property has faced challenges maintaining proper heating systems, with a Feb 2019 complaint about heat and hot water issues being resolved only after tenant intervention.
The building has also experienced significant regulatory scrutiny, particularly regarding bedbug reporting compliance, with violations noted in 2022, 2023, and 2024 despite previous years showing zero infestation reports (for the period 2020-2021). The property has a documented history of building code violations and enforcement actions. Between 2020 and 2024, there have been multiple complaints regarding work contrary to stop work orders, with several violations remaining open as of 2022-2023.
Major concerns were identified in late 2018, including plumbing issues in the cellar, defective boiler room doors, and safety concerns such as an uncapped steam pipe in an apartment. The building's maintenance records show instances of electrical and plumbing work performed without proper permits in 2020-2021, resulting in significant fines, though some violations were later resolved or dismissed. Inspections have consistently indicated ongoing maintenance issues, including a 2024 violation regarding failure to file the required annual bedbug report. While there have been recent improvements in certain areas, such as resolving some immediate hazardous violations, the building continues to exhibit patterns of noncompliance with various housing maintenance codes that impact resident safety and comfort.
