402 Montauk Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The three-story, two-family house at 402 Montauk Avenue in East New York, owned by Vickie Moore and constructed in 2005, has experienced several significant maintenance issues, particularly during 2022. The property has documented plumbing problems, with multiple complaints regarding toilets, water supply issues, and sink basins. While some plumbing inspections in 2022 resulted in no violations, others were closed due to inspectors being unable to access the property.

Of particular concern were two health-related complaints in June 2022, one regarding unsanitary conditions involving pests and another about conditions attracting rodents; both complaints were closed without inspection. The building's safety systems were also called into question, with a fire escape safety complaint filed in January 2022, though this was subsequently inspected with no violations cited. Additional issues included concerns about cabinet paint/plaster, and a housing maintenance code violation was issued in July 2022 regarding an illegal double-cylinder lock on a metal gate at the building's front, which was certified as corrected later that month.

Rodent activity was officially documented in inspections conducted in August and October 2022, following earlier inspections in 2012 showing no such problems. While many of these issues were addressed and closed according to HUD and HPD records, the pattern of complaints during this period suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly related to plumbing and pest control, despite some complaints being closed due to lack of access for inspection. The most recent documented complaint was closed in June 2023.
