1324 Avenue M, Brooklyn, NY 11230

The three-story, two-unit family house at 1324 Avenue M in Midwood, owned by Louis Zimbaro, has a documented history of maintenance issues spanning from 2020 to 2022. The most significant cluster of problems occurred in September 2022, when multiple complaints were filed including concerns about pests (both emergency and non-emergency), mold (emergency), water leaks, ceiling paint issues, and a door problem.

While the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) investigated these complaints, no violations were ultimately issued for most, though at least one pest-related violation was recorded, with some open complaints requiring verification of corrections. Earlier, in May 2020, similar issues were reported including water leaks, wall paint concerns, and pest problems, though these complaints were generally closed without violations, except for cases where HPD could not gain access for inspection.

The building's more recent history appears to show improvement, with no documented pest infestations reported in the 2025 bedbug report filing period (November 2023 to October 2024), showing zero infested or re-infested units. The property, built in 1931, has experienced recurring issues with water leaks, mold, and pest infestations over the years, particularly in 2020 and 2022, though most of these complaints were resolved without violations. The building's maintenance history indicates attention to various upkeep issues, with many complaints being addressed through HPD inspections, even if violations were not always found or issued.
