849 Belmont Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

This two-family house at 849 Belmont Avenue in East New York, owned by Joseph Meloy, was constructed in 1901 and spans two stories. The building has encountered several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past several years, most notably during a cluster of violations identified in November 2018, which remain unresolved as of 2023.

These include three Housing Maintenance Code violations: an unposted gas leak safety notice requirement (Class A), a missing electrical switch cover in the first-story vestibule (Class B), and an illegal double-cylinder lock installation at the first-story rear storm door (Class C). The property has experienced plumbing-related concerns as evidenced by a complaint filed in January 2020, which resulted in an Oath Violation, and an Environmental Control Board violation regarding improper documentation of appliance replacement. The building's environmental conditions have shown some fluctuation, with rodent activity recorded in July 2018 followed by a passing compliance inspection in August 2018.

In July 2018, there was also a Department of Health complaint regarding unmaintained standing water or swimming pool conditions. The property's infrastructure has faced various maintenance challenges, including the plumbing issues that surfaced in early 2020, which were addressed through the Environmental Control Board process. While there have been several violations and complaints over the years, the most recent records primarily indicate unresolved violations from 2018 and 2020, with no new major incidents reported through October 2023.
