840 Liberty Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

840 Liberty Avenue is a two-family residential building located in East New York, Brooklyn, consisting of two stories and two units. Built in 1901 and currently owned by Genara Gonzalez, this property has undergone several significant maintenance and safety inspections, with the most concerning issues occurring in 2018.

During that year, multiple violations were documented between April and May, primarily affecting the 2nd-floor apartment (2FL). These violations included inadequate heating systems, the need for an operational carbon monoxide detector, and dangerously hot water at 149 degrees in the kitchen. The building also faced security concerns during this period, with three separate violations related to illegal double-cylinder locks on various gates, including the building entrance, lot line gate, and front yard gate, though all these particular violations were subsequently closed.

Looking at the building's history, there was a rodent inspection conducted in May 2012 which resulted in a passing score. Since the documented violations in 2018, there have been no recorded housing maintenance code violations, gate lock issues, or rodent concerns in the available data through October 2023. While the 2018 violations represented a concerning cluster of safety and security issues at the time, the absence of recent violations over a period of approximately five years could suggest improved maintenance and compliance, though the data only reflects recorded violations and inspections through October 2023.
