1049 Glenmore Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

1049 Glenmore Avenue is a 4-story, 19-unit apartment building constructed in 1930, currently owned by Fred Rigos. The property has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water supply, with three reported incidents between 2024-2025 involving complete building outages. In late 2024, multiple violations were documented, including concerns about lead-based paint hazards in apartment 2 and 2B window frames, along with various maintenance issues such as mold (February 2025 resolution), plaster repairs, and bathroom improvements that were subsequently addressed through permits issued in 2019.

The building's maintenance history also reveals several heating system failures, door/window maintenance issues, and a documented history of mold problems. Although there were rodent inspection failures in late 2018, the property has shown consistent compliance in bedbug reporting, with no infestations reported in the last six years. The Department of Buildings records from 2019 show that two site conditions were inspected (one related to worker safety) but resulted in no violations being warranted. Recent housing maintenance violations include open lead paint hazard citations, though many other issues from the November 2024 inspection have been resolved.

The building's history shows a pattern of maintenance challenges, particularly regarding heating systems and window treatments, though many past issues have been addressed. The property has maintained an active compliance record for bedbugs and most rodent inspections, though there were occasional failures noted in 2018. The presence of open violations related to lead paint hazards in both 2 and 2B windows as of 2024 is particularly notable, as is the building's recurring heat and hot water system problems. The most recent complaints in 2025 involve both heating issues and door frame problems, with HPD inspectors unable to gain access for inspection in the most recent case.
