505 Cortelyou Road, Brooklyn, NY 11218
The two-family house at 505 Cortelyou Road in Kensington, built in 1930 and currently owned by 503 Cortelyou Road LLC, has experienced several significant regulatory issues in recent years. Most concerning are the seven active violations (as of June 2025) related to the failure to file External Low Pressure Inspection reports for the years 2018-2023, which suggest ongoing neglect of essential safety compliance requirements.
The building also has an active violation from 2019 regarding an unfiled annual boiler inspection report from 2017. The property has a documented history of regulatory challenges between 2017-2018, including multiple Environmental Control Board violations totaling $37,500 in penalties (though labeled as "Resolved" in the records) related to non-compliance with the Department of Buildings' orders regarding unpermitted work, particularly at the cellar level.
In 2022, a gas utility referral complaint was filed but closed without resolution due to the inspector's inability to gain access. More recently, in 2024, a food establishment complaint was filed with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene regarding an unpermitted or unlicensed operation, though this was administratively closed after the issue was addressed.
