1139 Sutter Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

1139 Sutter Avenue is a two-story, four-unit residential building located in East New York, constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Oretta Gayle. The property has been subject to recurring housing maintenance violations regarding bedbug reporting compliance, with four consecutive open violations between 2021 and 2024, all relating to the failure to file the required annual bedbug reports as mandated by HPD rules.

While the building passed inspections for rodent-related issues in 2012 and 2021, a rodent condition complaint was reported in November 2020, though the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene found no violations during their inspection. In terms of other significant incidents, the building had a closed emergency door/window complaint in October 2018, and in September 2018, a cast iron radiator nuisance in the first-story public hall was identified and subsequently addressed.

Most recently, in November 2023, there was a complaint about work being done without a permit, though the inspector was unable to gain access on their second final attempt to investigate. The property's violation record suggests ongoing challenges with regulatory compliance, particularly relating to bedbug reporting requirements, though many previous concerns such as rodent issues and the radiator nuisance appear to have been resolved.
