2701 Cropsey Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11214

The three-story, 10-unit residential building at 2701 Cropsey Avenue in Gravesend, owned by Michael Fackre and constructed in 2004, has experienced recurring electrical issues in recent years. Most notably, there were two electrical incidents - a power outage in April 2024 and a lighting failure in July 2023 - both classified as emergencies that required HPD intervention, though no violations were cited in either case.

The building currently has multiple open Housing Maintenance Code violations, primarily related to safety notice requirements. These include missing postings for carbon monoxide detector requirements, smoke detector requirements, gas leak procedures, and building registration information, as well as issues concerning the proper display of inspection certificates and bedbug reporting requirements. The property has a history of compliance issues that seem to cluster in 2023, when several violations spanning different categories were recorded.

These include violations for not maintaining proper safety notices and documentation in the first-story public hall area, affecting various safety protocols. While there were two Department of Buildings violations noted in 2020 and 2021, these were ultimately dismissed in December 2022 following corrected inspections, suggesting active management response to certain maintenance issues. The combination of repeated electrical problems and multiple open violations regarding safety communications and documentation requirements indicates ongoing management challenges related to building systems and regulatory compliance, though it's worth noting that recent electrical complaints have been addressed without resulting in formal violations.
