909 Avenue T, Brooklyn, NY 11223

The 33-unit, 4-story tenement building at 909 Avenue T in Sheepshead Bay, owned by Albert Srour, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues in recent years, particularly in early 2025. Multiple complaints were filed between January 6-26, 2025, including emergency-level issues with water leaks, electrical lighting problems, and mold conditions, though HPD inspections found some of these complaints did not constitute violations of housing laws.

The building has also had recurring issues with its door and security systems, as evidenced by multiple complaints about doors and intercom systems, with at least one general violation for the bell/buzzer/intercom system issued in January 2025. Earlier violations from 2024 showed concerns about self-closing doors throughout the building, including those at the first story vestibule and fourth-story roof bulkhead. Additional historical context reveals that the building faced structural concerns in 2022 regarding its rear courtyard retaining wall, which was initially reported as being in disrepair and resulted in a vacate order that was later rescinded.

The property has maintained good compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing zero infestation cases in recent annual filings from 2021 through 2024. However, there have been recent rodent issues, with multiple inspections in 2024 indicating rat activity and the application of bait between April and November 2024, suggesting ongoing pest control efforts are necessary. The building's maintenance history shows a mix of addressed violations and ongoing maintenance needs, particularly regarding building systems and infrastructure.
