629 Emerald Street, Brooklyn, NY 11208
The three-story, three-unit building at 629 Emerald Street in East New York, owned by George Wilson, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues, particularly in 2025. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water complaints, with three emergency heat/hot water complaints filed in May 2025 alone, indicating persistent temperature control problems that may affect resident comfort. The building also faces active violations related to occupancy without a final Certificate of Occupancy, with an administrative violation issued in May 2025 regarding an expired Temporary Certificate of Occupancy from 2007.
Additionally, there are open violations from 2022-2024 related to failing to file annual bedbug reports, which could impact resident safety. The property has documented a range of maintenance issues requiring attention, including appliance problems (notably with electric/gas ranges), plumbing challenges (bathtub/shower, radiator, basin/sink), and safety concerns such as smoke detector issues. Recent inspections in 2025 revealed multiple emergency maintenance needs that were addressed, but the recurrence of complaints suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
The building has undergone several inspections regarding illegal conversions and hotel room usage, with no violations found in 2022. Historical records show the building passed rodent inspections in 2012 and 2017, though more recent pest control status is not documented. While some complaints have been resolved promptly, the pattern of recurring heat and hot water issues, along with multiple active violations, suggests ongoing regulatory and maintenance challenges for the property.
