875 Belmont Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The 6-unit, 3-story New Law tenement building at 875 Belmont Avenue in East New York, owned by Collin Hamilton, has a documented history spanning several significant maintenance issues, particularly in recent years. Most notably, in December 2023, there were two urgent matters: one regarding heat and hot water service affecting the entire building, and another concerning rodent-related conditions.

While the heat and hot water issue was reportedly resolved during HPD's response, the rodent problem was notable enough to involve both the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and subsequent rodent inspections. The building has faced multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations over the past several years, with four separate violations between 2021-2024 related to the failure to file required annual bedbug reports.

However, recent documentation indicates improved pest management, with the most recent bedbug filing period (2022-2023) showing no reported infestations, and a passed rodent inspection in November 2023. Historically, the building has consistently passed rodent inspections dating back to 2012, and an earlier rodent sighting complaint in October 2023 did not result in any violations being recorded. The property’s maintenance history suggests ongoing attention to both pest control and fundamental building services, with recent improvements in reporting compliance and rodent management, though the December 2023 heat/hot water issue indicates some continuing challenges with building systems.
