1764 12th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11229

The five-story, seven-unit building at 1764 12th Street in Sheepshead Bay, owned by Stella Williamson, has a documented history of ongoing maintenance and safety compliance challenges since its construction in 2004. Most notably, the building has accumulated an open series of violations since 2021 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by the Housing Maintenance Code, with the most recent citation issued in April 2024.

The property has also faced significant safety compliance issues, particularly in 2018 when multiple violations were recorded on May 10th, including failures to post required notices regarding carbon monoxide detector requirements, smoke detector requirements, gas leak procedures, and heating system keyholder information in common areas. During the same period, there was a specific violation noted in Apartment R4 regarding defective plastered surfaces and paint in a fourth-story room. The building's elevator system experienced critical issues in late 2018, with two complaints recorded in September and October regarding "Single Device on Property/No Alternate Service," leading to Environmental Control Board violations for safety concerns including unsecure switch wires in the pit, exposed sheetrock joints, and a damaged phone that required repair.

While some of these issues have been resolved—such as the elevator-related violations which were addressed by October 30, 2018, through specific repairs including securing rope slack switch wires, providing fire retardant in the hoistway, and repairing the phone—many violations remain open as of the latest data in October 2023. These include ongoing bedbug report compliance issues and various safety notice requirements. The property has maintained a consistent pattern of violations related to safety notice requirements and pest management compliance over multiple years, with particular emphasis on the need for proper documentation and communication regarding building safety systems and pest management protocols.
