909 Belmont Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The 3-story, 3-unit building at 909 Belmont Avenue in East New York, owned by Moshe Moskovics, has a documented history of various maintenance issues and compliance concerns since at least 2020. Most recently, from early 2023, there were multiple HPD complaints regarding problems with electric/gas ranges and cooking gas, though inspectors were repeatedly unable to gain access to verify these conditions. The building experienced significant infrastructure challenges in late 2022 through 2023, including heat and hot water emergencies affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, water supply issues, and multiple plumbing problems.

Following inspections in August 2023, several violations were recorded requiring attention to rodent infestations in apartments 1 and 3, lead paint hazards, and excessively hot water temperatures in apartment 3. The property has a concerning pattern of access issues for inspections, with multiple complaints from 2020 through 2023 where inspectors were unable to gain access, particularly regarding alleged illegal conversions and unlicensed activities. Notable structural and safety issues were documented, including a broken/missing fire door to the cellar, defective handrail baluster in the basement, and multiple violations related to building maintenance standards.

An exterior masonry violation with a penalty of $3,125 was recorded in 2020, highlighting concerns about mortar degradation and water seepage potential. The building has undergone regular bedbug and rodent inspections, with the most recent bedbug report from April 2024 indicating no current infestations, though previous rodent inspections in 2018 and 2019 showed failed results. A carbon monoxide detector violation was noted in 2024, requiring attention to safety equipment compliance.
