721 New Jersey Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207
The two-family building at 721 New Jersey Avenue in East New York, owned by Tremayne Craigg, has experienced numerous maintenance issues over the past two years, with the most significant problems occurring between late 2023 and early 2024. The basement apartment encountered multiple water-related issues, with three separate emergency complaints regarding heavy flow water leaks filed between November 2023 and December 2023, which were subsequently closed in March 2024. Additional maintenance concerns during this period included reports of unsanitary conditions related to pest infestations (including mice and roaches), heating problems, and door/frame issues. The building has three active Housing Maintenance Code violations as of March 2024, all related to water leaks and damaged plastered surfaces in the basement apartment.
Earlier inspections from October 2023 revealed safety concerns regarding self-closing doors in both the basement and RM1 entrance areas, though these were promptly addressed by November 2023. During 2023-2024, the building underwent various repairs, including bathroom faucet repairs and carbon monoxide detector replacements in RM1. Notably, the building has maintained a consistent record of no bedbug infestations, with the most recent reports from 2025, 2024, and 2023 showing zero affected units. Similarly, rodent inspections from 2011 and 2012 returned passed results, though the building experienced pest-related violations in 2024.
Two complaints regarding unauthorized work were filed in 2019 and 2022, but inspections found no violations. A permit for electrical work was issued in October 2022, indicating some level of ongoing maintenance activities. The building's maintenance record suggests recurring issues with plumbing and pest control, particularly in the basement unit, though many complaints were closed due to inspectors not gaining access to the units. The most recent issues appear to be primarily concentrated in the basement apartment, while other units have shown fewer reported problems. The property has demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements and has maintained safety features such as carbon monoxide detectors, despite some instances of defective equipment requiring repair.
