655 Alabama Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207
The 3-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement at 655 Alabama Avenue in East New York, owned by John Antoine, has a concerning pattern of ongoing maintenance and safety violations. Most notably, there is a persistent failure to file annual bedbug reports from 2021 through 2024, with this violation remaining open as of 2024.
The building has multiple open violations from 2018 that present significant safety and habitability concerns, including unsafe electrical wiring conditions with exposed BX cable in the cellar, storage of household items in violation of egress requirements, and various fire safety issues such as broken fire retardant materials in the boiler room. Additionally, there are three active violations related to failure to file external low-pressure inspections for the years 2020-2022, which could indicate neglect of essential building systems.
A complaint regarding unlicensed plumbing work from July 2018 was closed due to the inspector's inability to gain access. While the building passed rodent inspections in 2011 and 2012, the pattern of open violations and the failure to comply with basic maintenance requirements suggest ongoing challenges with property upkeep.
