947 Liberty Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

947 Liberty Avenue is a three-story, three-unit residential building located in East New York, built in 1920 and currently owned by Paula Guy. The property has experienced a range of maintenance issues over the past several years, with the most significant recent events occurring in 2023 when multiple violations were documented, including a leaky faucet, broken glass pane, missing kitchen cabinet, faulty smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and defective plaster surfaces on the 3rd story. These violations were certified as corrected by June 2023.

The building has also faced recurring water-related issues, with HPD inspections in 2022 revealing violations related to water leaks. While there have been bedbug reports filed from 2020-2024, these went through zero infestation cycles during the reported periods. The property has an active ECB violation from 2018 regarding the use of prohibited door hardware with a penalty of $3,125.

Heating and hot water issues were reported in 2018 (though inspectors couldn't access units for verification), and there was a rat sighting reported in 2021 that led to violations. The building's condition history shows a pattern of maintenance challenges, particularly relating to building systems and safety features, though many of the 2022 and 2023 complaints were resolved without violations being issued. Recent rodent inspections in 2025 indicated a failure for "Other Reasons," suggesting ongoing pest management challenges. The building's bedbug reporting from 2024 shows no current infestation issues, and previous reports from 2020-2023 also indicated full eradication of any infestation cases.
