794 Glenmore Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The three-unit, three-story residential building at 794 Glenmore Avenue in East New York, owned by Judith Scott, has experienced significant maintenance issues over the past two years, particularly related to heating and water systems. Since 2023, there have been multiple heat/hot water complaints, with violations issued in October 2023 and August 2023, despite some subsequent complaints being closed with no violations. Additional issues have included plumbing problems with water supply (July 2023), an electrical power outage (July 2023), and garbage/recycling storage concerns (December 2023).

The building underwent a health inspection in May 2023 with no violations found, passing rodent inspections in both 2023 and 2012, though there were reports of cockroach infestations requiring attention. The property's history reveals more serious structural and safety concerns, including several Department of Buildings violations from 2023. These include unauthorized conversion of the cellar into additional living space without proper permits, safety violations regarding fire egress and sprinkler systems, and problems with the heating system access.

As of January 2024, there were open violations related to providing access to the heating system/boiler room, though a $500 penalty was imposed and resolved. The building's occupancy status has been questioned, with inspections in 2023 indicating potential use contrary to its Certificate of Occupancy. The property owner has faced various penalties in 2023 totaling over $2,000 for building code violations, including issues with illegal conversion, fire safety requirements, and maintenance of required systems. While the building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no infestations reported in the past three years, ongoing maintenance issues suggest systematic challenges with building management and infrastructure.
