117 Montauk Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The two-family house at 117 Montauk Avenue in East New York, owned by Lloyd Burnett, has experienced several significant maintenance issues since its construction in 2008. The most pressing current concern involves multiple water leak complaints, with three emergency reports filed in December 2022 and closed in June 2023, though no violations were ultimately issued following HPD inspections.

The building has a pattern of heat and hot water issues, with six complaints between 2021-2022, two of which were emergency complaints in October 2021 that required intervention. Additional problems have included unsanitary conditions with mold reported in July 2021 (violations issued) and November 2021 (no access for inspection), an electric/gas range appliance issue in April 2022, and persistent rodent infestation concerns. The property has several open housing maintenance code violations as of the latest available data, primarily affecting the 2nd-floor apartment (referred to as "2NDFLO") and the 2nd-floor apartment (identified as "2FL").

These violations, documented in April 2022 and October 2021 inspections, include the need for repairs to plaster surfaces, addressing rodent and cockroach infestations, water leak issues, and mold remediation. Specific violations include problems with the carbon monoxide detection system, broken plastered surfaces, a water leak in the ceiling, and pest infestations in both apartments. The building was constructed in 2008, and despite passing an initial rodent inspection in 2012, there have been ongoing issues with various maintenance and habitability concerns over the years, particularly related to water, heat, and pest problems.
