553 Glenmore Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The three-story, six-unit residential building at 553 Glenmore Avenue in East New York, owned by Michelle Neugebauer and built in 1925 as a New Law Tenement, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past year, particularly related to essential services. Most notably, there have been three heat/hot water complaints in 2025 alone, including one in February 2025 that required HPD inspection but did not result in violations. The building has faced recurring problems with heat/hot water services throughout 2024 and into 2025, as well as multiple electrical issues, including a power outage complaint in February 2025 that resulted in violations.

Plumbing problems have also been documented, including a bathtub/shower issue in November 2024 and a heavy water leak in March 2024. The building has several open violations as of October 2024, particularly affecting apartment 2B. These violations include issues with plastered surfaces, kitchen cabinets, bathroom fixtures, and radiator painting requirements.

There are also concerns about building-wide infrastructure, including a violation regarding access to the heating system noted in October 2024. However, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with all annual reports since 2019 showing zero infested units. Past rodent inspections in 2011 and 2012 also showed "Passed" results, indicating no significant pest issues in those areas. While the building's management has addressed some complaints and received approvals for certain repairs, the frequency of heating, water, and electrical issues suggests ongoing challenges with building systems maintenance.
