880 New York Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The two-family house at 880 New York Avenue in East Flatbush, owned by Guy Mercurio, is a 2-story residential building constructed in 1910. The building's recorded history shows three significant complaints related to possible violations of residential use codes between 2020 and 2023.

Most recently, in September 2023, there were two complaints: one regarding an illegal conversion and the other concerning an unauthorized permit request, although both were either closed without any violations being substantiated or attributed to insufficient information. Prior to these, in late 2020, there was a complaint about illegal commercial or manufacturing use within a residential zone, which was also closed with no violations found upon inspection. Of particular concern is a heating and hot water emergency complaint made in February 2022, affecting the entire building.

While the Department of Housing Preservation and Development responded to the complaint, they were unable to gain access to the apartment(s) for inspection, leading to the case being closed without resolution verification. While this complaint remains on record, it is worth noting that there have been no subsequent heating or hot water complaints in the three years since, suggesting the issue may have been resolved through other means, though this cannot be definitively confirmed from the available data. The building's documented history shows generally routine residential use with some concerns relating to unauthorized modifications or use, though none of these complaints have resulted in confirmed violations requiring remediation.
