520 Hegeman Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

520 Hegeman Avenue is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building located in East New York, constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Carl Jones. The building has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant concerns emerging in October 2024, including violations related to water leaks, pest infestations (both cockroaches and mice), and electrical wiring problems.

Particularly notable are the open violations from the October 2024 inspection in apartment 3F, which include defective plaster surfaces in the kitchen, damaged self-closing doors, and ongoing pest infestations. The building also had emergency plumbing issues involving bathtubs/showers and sinks during the same period. In addition to these recent problems, there is an active Department of Buildings violation from September 2024 regarding failure to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection.

The building's history shows some consistent maintenance challenges, particularly with plumbing and electrical systems, as evidenced by multiple HPD complaints and violations between 2022 and 2024. While the building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2021 onward, consistently showing zero infested units in their mandatory filings, the presence of other vermin and ongoing maintenance issues suggests some challenges with overall building maintenance. The property has undergone several inspections and received various violations in recent years, though many previous issues have been resolved, including structural repairs in public areas such as floor tiles and plaster surfaces.
