924 Belmont Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The two-story, four-unit residential building at 924 Belmont Avenue in East New York, owned by Dwayne Richburg, has experienced several significant safety and maintenance issues over the past few years, particularly in 2023. Most notably, there are currently five open Class A violations from June 2023 related to safety and communication requirements, including the need to post gas leak procedures, maintain proper carbon monoxide detector notices, provide the housing information guide, and display the building's inspection certificate properly.

An additional violation from the same inspection required the provision of specific equipment for sprinkler system testing. Another concerning incident occurred in 2022 involving unauthorised security modifications, with an illegal fastening chain key lock being installed at the entrance to Apartment 2R, though this violation has since been closed.

The building has a documented history of fire safety concerns, with multiple violations in November 2022 regarding defective or missing self-closing doors in the cellar's boiler room and north fire door. The property has successfully submitted bedbug reports for the past two reporting periods (2022-2023 and 2021-2022) showing no infestations, and passed an initial rodent inspection in 2012, suggesting these particular pest control issues have been effectively managed. While some violations from previous years, such as the fire door issues and bedbug reporting requirements, have been addressed and closed, the current open violations regarding safety signage and equipment requirements indicate ongoing non-compliance with certain housing maintenance codes.
