779 Liberty Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

779 Liberty Avenue is a 3-story, 6-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Cypress Court Associates Lp. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant concerns being related to heating systems, window maintenance, and appliance functionality. In early 2025, there were multiple complaints between January and February regarding heating/hot water issues and problems with electric/gas ranges, though HPD inspections often faced difficulties accessing units for verification.

A notable cluster of violations was documented in October 2024 in apartment 1B, including water leaks affecting both bathroom and kitchen ceilings, deteriorated plastered surfaces, and an insect infestation (with active violations for mice and roaches). There are also open violations from 2024 regarding insect flies in the building and a carbon monoxide detection device issue in apartment 2B from October 2023. The building has a documented history of rodent management efforts, with multiple bait applications recorded between September 2021 and April 2022, though no recent rodent complaints have been filed.

While there have been various maintenance issues, the building has maintained a clean bedbug record over the past several years, with all annual inspections showing zero infestation or eradication cases. A vibration complaint regarding building stability was investigated in July 2024 but was found to have no warranted violations. The property has undergone regular inspections and service requests, though many HPD visits in recent months have been impacted by access issues, requiring tenants to re-file complaints for proper investigation.
