767 Fountain Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The three-story residential building at 767 Fountain Avenue in East New York, owned by Yossi Yaacov and constructed in 2006, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over the past few years that warrant attention. Most notably, there has been an ongoing concern with window safety, with violations recorded in 2023 for broken or missing window guards in both April and September inspections affecting apartments 2 and 3.

These violations, classified as Class C, indicate a potentially serious safety hazard. Additionally, in late 2023, multiple violations were issued concerning the cellar area, including requirements to address mold conditions (approximately 5 square feet), repair defects in the ceiling, and address issues with self-closing doors.

The building has also faced basic maintenance challenges, including a serious heat and hot water outage affecting the entire building in January 2022, though this was reportedly resolved promptly. While the building appears to be currently free of active bedbug infestations (with filings showing no affected units from 2020 through 2024), the property has experienced various compliance issues with housing regulations, including failure to maintain required safety notices and documentation in 2018, though these violations were subsequently closed. A rodent inspection conducted in 2012 resulted in a passing grade, and recent inspections of building systems and conditions suggest ongoing efforts to address identified violations, as evidenced by certification dates for corrections in late 2023 and early 2024.
