20 Barbey Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

20 Barbey Street is a two-family residential building located in Cypress Hills, Brooklyn, constructed in 1925 and currently owned by Lauren Lombardo. The building experienced notable maintenance issues in 2018, with multiple complaints filed through the Housing Maintenance Code, including problems with water leaks and ceiling damage in October 2018.

Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) inspections resulted in violations specifically concerning ceiling plaster and bathroom floor tiles in the second-floor apartment, though these violations were certified as corrected by February 2020. The property has a significant history of violations related to occupancy and compliance issues, particularly in 2018, when multiple violations were recorded concerning unauthorized occupancy of an attic space, removal of a posted vacate order, and failure to comply with prior orders, with penalties totaling $4,625.

While all these violations are listed as resolved, the persistence of compliance issues throughout 2018 suggests some challenges with property management during that period. The building's maintenance record shows one rodent inspection in 2012, which was passed, indicating that at least some aspects of the building's maintenance have been adequately addressed. The most recent building information available through October 2023 shows no new violations or complaints since 2018, suggesting improved compliance in recent years.
