591 Autumn Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

591 Autumn Avenue is a two-family house located in East New York, built in 1910 and currently owned by Geraldine Baptiste. The property has experienced significant maintenance issues, most notably a cluster of violations in November 2019 primarily affecting the second-floor apartment (2R). These violations included multiple categories of non-compliance with the Housing Maintenance Code, such as pest infestations (roaches and mice), various plumbing issues (leaky faucets, bathroom tub problems, and sink concerns), electrical appliance problems (defective refrigerator door gasket and kitchen appliances), safety concerns (carbon monoxide detector), and unsanitary conditions (mold).

The building faced emergency and non-emergency complaints during this period, including problems with window frames, plumbing water supply, and paint/plaster conditions. The November 2019 inspection resulted in several formal Notices of Violation (NOVs), mostly classified as 'B' violations, which were subsequently certified as corrected by January 2020. These violations included broken or defective plaster surfaces, window problems, and an illegal security device at the building's front gate.

Interestingly, a rodent inspection conducted in April 2012 had passed, indicating that pest control was previously under control before the 2019 outbreak. While these historical violations suggest a period of significant maintenance challenges, the records indicate that the property owner took steps to address these issues within a reasonable timeframe, with most violations being closed by early 2020. No recent violations or complaints have been recorded since this resolution period, though this could indicate either improved conditions or limited reporting rather than definitive confirmation of current maintenance status.
