1724 Mermaid Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11224
The 1724 Mermaid Avenue property is a four-story, 7-unit residential building constructed in 1930, currently owned by Miguel Rivera. The building has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing being a lack of heat and hot water affecting the entire building as recently as November 2024, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the conditions. There are currently open violations from November 2024 related to self-closing door functionality at the entrance of apartment 2F, and several open Class C violations from October 2023 regarding defective self-closing doors in various locations including apartments 1R, 3F, and 4F, as well as in the bulkhead sections on the fourth floor.
The building's boiler and related systems have been a recurring issue, with active Environmental Control Board violations from 2019 regarding defective equipment and expired permits, and multiple violations related to the failure to file external low pressure inspections between 2018 and 2024, with penalties totaling over $15,625. Additional concerns include safety issues with window guards (August 2024), and several emergency "Line of Travel" complaints from October 2023. The building's management has faced scrutiny for not filing mandatory bedbug reports, with violations issued in March 2023 and April 2024.
Historical records show rodent inspection discrepancies between 2009 and 2010, with non-compliance noted in 2009 and successful compliance in 2010. The property also received multiple 7R complaints in June 2023, though the specific nature of these complaints is not detailed in the available records. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic services and safety features, with many violations remaining unresolved for extended periods.
