807 Beverley Road, Brooklyn, NY 11218

The 4-story, 8-unit tenement building at 807 Beverley Road in Kensington, built in 1907 and currently owned by Charles Rosenwasser, has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, particularly affecting the 4th floor apartment (4W). Between October 2024 and April 2025, multiple complaints were filed regarding plumbing and paint/plaster issues including problems with the bathtub/shower, sink/basin, radiator, and ceiling/wall surfaces, though many of these complaints were closed without inspection due to lack of access.

Notably, in November 2024, HPD issued several violations for 4W related to defective plastered surfaces and paint, water leaks, and plumbing issues, with repair certifications registered between February and December 2025. The building has a documented history of structural concerns, as evidenced by a 2019 Environmental Control Board violation noting approximately 3-inch drops in several areas affecting apartments #1W, 2W, 3W, and 4W, which were causing cracks in walls and ceilings. This same year, there were also complaints about building shaking/vibration, though violations were not warranted at the time of inspection.

While the building has passed rodent inspections in 2022 and 2023 and has maintained a consistent record of zero bedbug infestations from 2019 through 2024, the repeated nature of maintenance complaints and violations, particularly regarding water damage and plaster issues, suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. A complaint about work without a permit was filed in October 2024 but was found to have no violation warrant at the time of inspection. The most recent inspection history shows a mix of emergency and non-emergency maintenance issues, with some complaints still requiring attention as of their closure dates.
