1491 East 10th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11230

1491 East 10th Street is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building in Midwood owned by Ayala Gamil and constructed in 1915. The building has experienced recurring rodent issues, with three complaints reported between late 2022 and 2023, though recent inspections in 2023 resulted in a passing grade for rodent compliance.

The property underwent significant electrical work in 2019, which led to multiple violations including unsafe temporary lighting, improper wiring, and debris hazards in various areas, resulting in fines totaling $3,250. These electrical violations, originally classified as immediately hazardous, were ultimately dismissed in 2020. The building has maintained an exemplary record regarding bedbug infestations, with all recent reports from 2019 through 2024 showing zero infested units.

Another concerning incident occurred in 2019 when fire safety violations were documented, including obstructed fire escapes and defects in fire-retardant materials, though these were subsequently corrected and certified. The building has been subject to multiple 311 complaints for smoking violations in 2020, which were addressed according to the resolution descriptions. While the property has had its share of maintenance issues, many of the significant violations from 2019 have been resolved, and recent bedbug and rodent inspections suggest improved management practices, though the housing maintenance code complaints from 2019 regarding doors, windows, and walls indicate there have been various repair needs requiring attention.
