1123 Sutter Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

1123 Sutter Avenue is a 2-story, 4-unit residential building constructed in 1930, currently owned by Shaya Seidenfeld. The property has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past two years, with the most significant concerns being unsanitary conditions including pest infestations (roaches, mice, and rats) and improper garbage storage. Between 2024 and 2025 alone, there were multiple reports and violations related to these issues, particularly affecting apartment 2B on the second floor.

Building systems have also faced challenges, including a water leak with heavy flow documented in June 2024 and an entire building heat/hot water complaint in November 2024, though inspections determined these did not violate housing laws. The building's history reveals some regulatory compliance issues, particularly in 2018 when multiple violations were issued regarding illegal occupancy and construction work in the cellar area. These violations, which included unauthorized creation of bathroom and bedroom spaces in the cellar, resulted in various penalties totaling $6,250, though records indicate they have since been resolved.

More recent maintenance records from 2024-2025 show ongoing concerns with building security, including violations related to defective self-closing doors and broken latches at building entrances. While no bedbug infestations have been reported in recent years (with the most recent filings showing zero infested or eradicated units), the property has maintained an active rodent control program, with inspections showing rat activity as recently as February 2021. The building is currently registered as having four units, as per the Department of Buildings records, and has documented permits for plumbing and electrical work issued in 2019.
