719 Fountain Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208
The two-family house at 719 Fountain Avenue in East New York, owned by Shlomo Denti, has a documented history spanning several years with particular emphasis on heating and rodent-related issues. The 1925 two-story building has experienced recurrent problems with heat and hot water systems, evidenced by multiple HPD complaints between 2018 and 2022, including a specific violation issued in October 2019 for inadequate hot water in the second-story apartment.
The building's boiler system has been a particular point of concern, with a notable violation recorded in April 2019 for operating without a permit and not being properly registered, resulting in a substantial $6,250 penalty that remains active in the Environmental Control Board records. The property has experienced ongoing rodent issues, particularly between 2012 and 2018, with multiple inspections showing rat activity and the need for bait applications.
While recent years have shown no reported infestations through the Bedbug Registry (with filings in 2023-2024 showing zero affected units), the building's maintenance record suggests persistent challenges with basic infrastructure systems. The most recent building-related complaint in 2022 regarding permits was inspected and found to warrant no violations, but previous complaints about illegal conversions in 2019 could not be fully investigated due to access issues. Despite the general decline in reported pest issues in recent years, the cumulative history of heating system failures, rodent problems, and boiler-related violations suggest ongoing maintenance challenges for this property.
