692 Georgia Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The 3-unit, 2-story residential building at 692 Georgia Avenue in East New York, owned by Greencedar Management and constructed in 1901, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years. Most recently, between April and May 2023, the property faced both unsanitary mold conditions and rodent problems, with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) investigating the mold but not issuing violations, while the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) found violations requiring follow-up inspections.

The building's history reveals a pattern of similar issues, including an emergency plumbing problem involving a toilet in January 2023, and multiple incidents of mold and pest complaints in 2020. During a comprehensive inspection in August 2020, several significant violations were documented, particularly in Basement Apartment A1, including visible mold conditions on walls, a rodent infestation, and issues with self-closing doors. The property has maintained a proactive bedbug management program, with annual reports consistently showing zero infested dwelling units from 2019 through 2024, suggesting effective pest control practices in this regard.

An inspection in February 2022 noted a violation related to the annual bedbug report filing requirement, though this appears to have been addressed in subsequent reports. While previous rodent inspections in 2011 and 2012 showed compliance, a 2023 inspection resulted in a failure for unspecified reasons, indicating potential ongoing pest management challenges. The building also faced multiple housing maintenance code violations in 2020, including requirements to address refuse accumulation in the front yard and various safety concerns, all of which have since been closed.
