123 Montauk Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The two-family house at 123 Montauk Avenue in East New York, owned by Michael Cannone, has experienced several significant events affecting resident comfort and safety in recent years. Most notably, in December 2024, there were two emergency heat and hot water service interruptions within two days, though heat and hot water were reportedly restored before or during inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development.

Prior to this, there were multiple Housing Maintenance Code complaints and violations in 2018 related to an attic space that had been improperly converted for habitation, with December 2018 violations indicating non-compliance with a vacate order and failure to file required documentation. The building's maintenance history shows some ongoing concerns about heat and hot water systems, as evidenced by the December 2024 service requests, and earlier complaints about a defective boiler in November 2024, which were ultimately unsubstantiated.

The property has been subject to various inspections and permit issuances, with the most recent permit related to electrical work issued in April 2023. Earlier, in 2020, there were permits issued for plumbing and electrical work. The building's inspection history includes a rodent compliance inspection in September 2012, which passed, following an initial failure earlier that year for unspecified reasons.
