3748 Lyme Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11224

The 3-unit, 2-story residential building at 3748 Lyme Avenue in Sea Gate, owned by Daniel Corrar, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, particularly affecting the second-floor apartment (2FL). Most notably, in April 2025, the building faced simultaneous emergencies involving heat/hot water, electricity (no lighting), and cooking gas, though these issues were reportedly resolved shortly after HPD intervention.

A significant inspection in November 2024 revealed multiple open violations in apartment 2FL, including problems with electrical outlets, water leaks, plumbing fixtures, and missing safety equipment such as smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. These violations also noted issues with plaster surfaces, wall conditions, and door hardware. The building's history includes several instances of access issues during inspections, as seen in 2019 (multiple complaints) and more recently in 2023.

Previous complaints from 2019 highlighted concerns about wiring, lighting, mold, ventilation, and various structural elements, though many of these inspections were unable to proceed due to access problems. The property has also been subject to three separate complaints regarding unauthorized conversions or uses, including an illegal conversion complaint in 2023 and a defective boiler complaint in 2019, neither of which resulted in confirmed violations at the time of inspection due to access issues or lack of findings. While many of the more recent service requests have been closed, their recurring nature and the presence of multiple open violations as of 2024 suggest ongoing maintenance challenges within the building.
