206 Marine Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11209

The two-family house at 206 Marine Avenue in Fort Hamilton, built in 1925 and currently owned by Leona Chang, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with particular concerns regarding heating systems and pest control. Most notably, there have been three documented incidents of heat and hot water problems, including a November 2022 complaint that required HPD intervention and a December 2020 emergency situation where violations were issued for inadequate heat and hot water supply in the first-floor apartment.

The building also faced various violations between 2020 and 2021 in Apartment 1, including issues with carbon monoxide detectors, roach infestations, and gas range problems, all of which were subsequently addressed and certified as corrected. In mid-2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a construction-related violation imposed on H & M Contractors Inc. for continuing work contrary to emergency executive orders, resulting in a $5,000 penalty.

The property has been subject to multiple inspections and service requests, including a July 2021 complaint about unsanitary pigeon conditions that remains marked as in progress. While some issues appear resolved through proper regulatory channels, such as heating system violations from 2022, the repeated nature of heating and pest problems suggests persistent maintenance challenges. The most recent documented interactions with city agencies primarily relate to building systems and environmental concerns, with all known violations having reached closure status, though some required multiple intervention attempts before resolution.
