509 Montauk Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The two-family house at 509 Montauk Avenue in East New York, currently owned by Mary Grant, has experienced significant maintenance issues, particularly during late 2019. An inspection in December 2019 revealed multiple violations in both apartments, with Apartment 2 on the second story showing problems with leaks, including a deteriorated roof causing kitchen ceiling issues, defective faucets in the bathroom, multiple water-related issues, and unsanitary conditions including a rodent infestation. These violations were classified as either Class A or B, indicating varying levels of severity.

Additional problems documented during this period included issues with walls requiring paint/plaster repairs, radiator problems, and window frame concerns. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of water-related issues, with multiple service requests between November 2019 and January 2020 documenting water leaks, including heavy flow and damp spots. There were also documented concerns about mold and pest problems in December 2019.

While there was an initial rodent inspection in 2012 that passed, the more recent violations indicate a recurring maintenance challenge. Some of these violations remain open as of the latest inspection date, though other complaints from this period have been closed, including several housing maintenance code violations related to walls and window frames. The building, constructed in 1920, has experienced these persistent maintenance issues over its century-plus history, with the most significant problems occurring during the December 2019 to January 2020 period.
