1121 Liberty Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

1121 Liberty Avenue is a three-story, four-unit residential building constructed in 1920 in the Cypress Hills neighborhood, currently owned by Giuseppe Carollo. The building has multiple open Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2021-2024, all referencing the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD rules. More recently, in 2023-2024, the building received two violations regarding the failure to file external low-pressure inspection reports for 2022 and 2023, with the 2022 violation eventually dismissed.

A notable building safety concern emerged in late 2023 when violations were issued for improperly installed window air conditioning units lacking proper supporting brackets on the second and third floors, resulting in an active ECB violation with a penalty of $312. The property's history reveals several issues with building maintenance and code compliance. In 2018, violations were recorded for unauthorized installations, including an illuminated sign box for "Joe's Pizzaria & Restaurant" and an unpermitted awning for "Munchiez Deli," though these were ultimately resolved.

The building's most recent health-related incident involved a DOHMH complaint in 2024 regarding food establishment practices, specifically bare hands in contact with food, though this was administratively closed after being addressed. A rodent inspection from 2012 showed compliance at that time, with a passing result. While there are several open violations requiring attention, particularly regarding bedbug report filings and annual inspection requirements, the building's most recent active violations primarily concern safety-related issues with exterior installations and equipment.
