724 Liberty Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The four-story, nine-unit residential building at 724 Liberty Avenue in East New York, owned by Joseph Fragala, has experienced several concerning issues in 2024. Most notably, there were multiple complaints and violations related to unsanitary conditions, with residents reporting mold problems in August 2024.

The most recent inspections from August 2024 revealed significant safety concerns in Apartment 2, including missing smoke detectors, missing carbon monoxide detectors, defective self-closing doors, and a roach infestation, all of which were subsequently certified as corrected by September 20, 2024. The building has also faced plumbing issues during the same period, though no violations were issued by HPD. Looking at the building's recent history, there have been consistent records of maintenance concerns, including an indoor air quality complaint in August 2024, though the specific details of this issue are not fully documented.

The property has maintained an active record of bedbug reporting over the past seven years (2019-2025), with all reports indicating zero infested units, suggesting effective pest management. Historical records show a successful rodent inspection pass in 2012, and various EW (emergency work) permits have been issued between 2019 and 2022, indicating ongoing maintenance and repairs. While the building's recent violations were addressed within a reasonable timeframe, the pattern of unsanitary conditions and safety violations in 2024 suggests ongoing maintenance challenges in this 1925 New Law Tenement property.
