549 Autumn Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The two-family house at 549 Autumn Avenue in East New York, owned by Joe Levi, has a mixed record of maintenance and compliance since its construction in 1910. Most recently, in June 2023, there were concerns about rodent activity, though inspections by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene in both June and July 2023 (and a previous inspection in April 2012) found no violations or health concerns, with the property passing all inspections.

The building experienced several significant events between 2018-2019, including a period in late 2018 when it was classified as "Vacant, Open and Unguarded," resulting in violations, though these were subsequently addressed by December 2018. During the same period, there was a complaint about an illegal curb cut or driveway modification, which was investigated in November 2019 but found to have no warranted violations at the time of inspection. The property shows evidence of regular maintenance work, with multiple permits being issued in January-March 2019, specifically for exterior work (EW) and plumbing (PL), suggesting ongoing improvements to the building.

A Department of Buildings violation from November 2018 was dismissed in December of the same year, with notes indicating that repairs had been completed, though apparently without the required permits. While the rodent complaints in 2023 drew attention to potential maintenance issues, the fact that these were investigated promptly and resulted in passing inspections may indicate responsive property management. The building's age and history of permits and violations demonstrate typical urban residential property challenges, with the most recent inspection history showing no unresolved health or safety issues as of July 2023.
