871 Liberty Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

871 Liberty Avenue is a three-story, six-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1915 in East New York, currently owned by Rachel Michavi. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past seven years, with the most pressing concerns revolving around plumbing problems, pest infestations, and safety violations. During 2019-2020, there were multiple complaints regarding unsanitary conditions including pests, and plumbing issues affecting sinks and toilets, resulting in several violations from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

More recent years have shown a pattern of maintenance challenges, including emergency violations in 2020 related to smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, as well as mold and flooring issues. The property currently has multiple open violations with the Department of Buildings regarding failure to file required external low-pressure inspections between 2018 and 2023, with the most recent violation issued in September 2024. Though the building has maintained a zero-infestation status in recent bedbug reports (2022-2024), it previously struggled with pest control issues, particularly in 2019.

The apartment unit 2L has been the focus of several specific violations, including mold and plumbing issues in 2019-2020, while the building has passed its rodent inspections in 2012 and 2015. The property owner has generally resolved most violations, though several open violations remain pending resolution as of 2023-2024. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with timely repairs and compliance with safety regulations, though recent bedbug management records indicate successful eradication efforts for that specific issue.
