781 Belmont Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

781 Belmont Avenue is a 3-story, 10-unit residential building constructed in 1925, currently owned by Ismene Speliotis. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, most notably recurring problems with unsanitary conditions, including three documented mold complaints in 2023 (closed without violations). There are persistent pest control challenges, as evidenced by multiple housing maintenance code violations issued in 2023, including rodent infestations in apartments 2B and 3A.

The building has faced infrastructure concerns such as heat and hot water system complaints, with one in 2022 where inspectors were unable to access units for evaluation. Recent inspections from December 2023 revealed multiple violations, including a Class C violation for mice infestation in apartment 2B, and an open Class A violation regarding ceiling paint color in the same unit. The property has a history of various code violations and complaints, with the Department of Buildings issuing four active violations in 2023 for failure to file external low-pressure inspections for 2020 and 2021. Previous violations from 2019 indicate problems with door security and fire safety features.

During 2020, there were concerns about construction work and safety equipment, though these violations were ultimately resolved. The building's bedbug reports from 2020-2024 show no documented infestations, and an initial rodent inspection from 2012 passed inspection. Multiple permits were issued between 2020-2021 for various work types, including electrical and plumbing, suggesting ongoing maintenance and improvement efforts by management. While some violations have been resolved and permits properly issued, the recurring nature of unsanitary conditions and pest infestations remains a significant concern for this property as of 2025.
