855 Belmont Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208
The three-story, seven-unit building at 855 Belmont Avenue in East New York, owned by Mark Hodge and built in 1936, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past few years. Most recently, in October 2024, there was an emergency heat/hot water complaint affecting the entire building, which was investigated by HPD and found not to violate housing laws.
The building has recurrent pest-related concerns, with multiple complaints and violations from 2019 through 2023, including a 2023 rodent inspection that passed but previous HPD violations in 2019 for unsanitary conditions and pests. In October 2021, several emergency maintenance issues were documented, including concerns with doors/windows, fire escape safety, and broken window guards. The building shows a pattern of maintenance challenges, evidenced by multiple open violations related to bedbug reporting requirements from 2021-2024 and various Housing Maintenance Code violations.
There were also several Environmental Control Board violations in 2018-2019 related to failure to comply with commissioner orders and work without permits, resulting in penalties totaling $46,250, though these were marked as resolved. Historical complaints from 2019 regarding illegal activity and work without permits could not be inspected due to access issues. More recent inspections, including the 2023 rodent inspection and building permits issued in 2019 for plumbing and electrical work, suggest some attention to maintenance issues, though several open violations remain on the record.
