108 Fenimore Street, Brooklyn, NY 11225

The 6-story, 41-unit building at 108 Fenimore Street in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens, owned by Estie Bernstein, has experienced numerous maintenance issues over the past two years. Most notably, there have been multiple water-related problems, with at least seven documented complaints between 2023 and early 2025, including heavy flow leaks, slow leaks, and damp spots, though many inspections were either unable to be completed or resulted in no violations.

Apartment 3E has been the focus of several concerning violations as of January 2024, including issues with pest infestations (both roaches and mice), defective smoke detectors, a carbon monoxide detector problem, broken window hardware, and leaky bathroom fixtures, though some of these were listed as "closed" following certification. The building has also had periodic reports of bedbugs, with three infested units reported in 2022-2023 and none reported in the most recent 2023-2024 filing. The property has a history of safety concerns, including a broken window guard violation from 2023, though many complaints have resulted in no violations being issued after inspection.

A 2019 sidewalk shed violation resulted in penalties related to safety and job site signs, which were resolved. While the building has undergone some improvements, as evidenced by several active permits from 2018-2019, including plumbing and electrical work, the recurring nature of water-related issues and pest problems suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The Department of Buildings records show some active violations from 2019 and 2020, though specific details are not provided in the available data.
