891 Glenmore Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The two-family house at 891 Glenmore Avenue in East New York, owned by Abraham Malik, has been experiencing persistent maintenance issues, particularly in the first quarter of 2025. Since January 2025, there have been multiple complaints and emergencies regarding heat/hot water systems, plumbing, and appliance issues, all of which were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), though most were found not to violate housing laws. The building also has a documented history of pest problems, including an infestation of mice and roaches in the first-floor apartment in 2022, with subsequent reports showing inadequate maintenance of the bathroom's ceiling and walls.

Notably, housing violations from February 2023 documented issues including broken plaster surfaces, defective window mechanisms, and a reported mold condition in the first-floor bathroom. The property has experienced recurring heat and water supply problems, with most recent emergency complaints in February 2025 related to electricity/gas ranges and plumbing issues. Earlier issues from 2024-2025 included two instances of HPD being unable to gain access for inspections regarding heat/hot water complaints.

Prior to these recent issues, the building had documented rodent control inspections between 2010-2016, with the most recent efforts showing mixed results, though no recent rodent issues have been reported. The building's bedbug reporting for the past three years (2022-2024) shows zero affected units, indicating this particular pest has not been a recent problem. Regular housing inspections have revealed various maintenance needs, including a 2022 violation for a defective carbon monoxide detector and multiple issues with door/window conditions.
