283 Montauk Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

283 Montauk Avenue is a two-family, two-story residential building located in East New York, built in 1901 and currently owned by Lamont Wilson. The property has experienced significant maintenance issues, most notably during December 2019, when multiple violations were recorded, including problems with lighting, electrical fixtures, various plumbing issues, and pest infestations. These violations included sanitary conditions, mold, and problems with door/window functionality, particularly affecting the second-floor apartment.

As of December 2019, there were multiple open violations related to interior maintenance, particularly concerning plaster surfaces, paint quality, and various infrastructure elements. More recently, in 2024, the building has faced serious regulatory concerns regarding illegal modifications. In April 2024, two separate complaints were filed regarding illegal conversions, one resulting in a Partial Vacate Order.

A significant violation was recorded on April 24, 2024, regarding unauthorized alterations to the cellar level, including full-height partitions creating an SRO (Single Room Occupancy), kitchen facilities, bathroom facilities in disrepair, and concerns about egress. This violation remains active as of mid-2025. The building's maintenance history shows recurring issues with access for inspections and persistent repair needs, particularly during late 2018 through 2019, when multiple complaints were filed regarding plumbing problems affecting sinks/basins. A rodent inspection conducted in 2012 showed compliance at that time, but subsequent pest-related violations were noted in 2019.
