543 Autumn Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The three-story, 9-unit residential building at 543 Autumn Avenue in East New York, owned by 543 Autumn LLC, was constructed in 1930 and has experienced several notable events in recent years. The property has undergone multiple heating system issues, with three separate complaints about inadequate heat and hot water in late 2020 and November 2022, though inspections confirmed restoration of services. More recently, September 2023 inspections revealed some concerning issues, including fire damage in apartment 1C, illegal locking mechanisms at bulkhead and front doors, and multiple violations related to door maintenance throughout the building, including self-closing door requirements.

Prior to this, summer 2023 inspections identified various maintenance needs, such as ceiling repairs and removal of household goods encumbrances in public areas. The building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free status over the past several years, with all eight annual reports from 2018 through 2025 showing zero infested or eradicated units. While there was a rat sighting reported in June 2023, the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene's subsequent inspection found no violations.

The property has demonstrated good response to rodent inspections, passing the July 2023 evaluation. A September 2023 electrical complaint was documented, but inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. Overall, the building's maintenance record shows regular addressing of violations, with most being closed promptly upon correction.
