19 Marine Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11209

The 6-story, 36-unit building at 19 Marine Avenue in Fort Hamilton, constructed in 1927 and classified as a New Law Tenement, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past two years. Between 2023 and March 2025, there have been multiple complaints regarding these services, with the most recent incidents occurring in March 2025. While most complaints were resolved promptly, including one investigation that confirmed restoration of services during inspection, violations were issued in February 2024 relating to inadequate heat supply and ready access to the heating system.

The building has also faced several maintenance challenges, including electrical issues noted in March 2024 when violations were issued for broken ceiling light fixtures in public areas. Safety concerns have been documented, particularly in relation to fire escape access and building code compliance. There are open violations as of 2023 regarding obstacles obstructing egress from fire escapes, and issues with self-closing doors in the vestibule.

The Department of Buildings has recorded regulatory violations related to elevator service continuity and energy efficiency compliance. A passing rodent inspection in 2022 and consistently zero reports of bedbug infestations over the past eight reporting periods suggest general pest management is being maintained. While the building has had various environmental control board violations, primarily associated with elevator maintenance and fire escape access, these issues have typically been resolved, as evidenced by the records showing penalties were imposed and subsequently paid.
