801 Avenue U, Brooklyn, NY 11223
The three-story, four-unit tenement building at 801 Avenue U in Sheepshead Bay, constructed in 1926 and currently owned by 6401 20TH AVE, LLC, has a concerning history of maintenance issues and unresolved violations. Most notably, there are persistent open violations related to the failure to file mandatory annual bedbug reports from 2019 through 2024 (all classified as Class A violations).
The property also has multiple active DOB violations for failing to complete required low pressure external inspections from 2022 through 2023, demonstrating inadequate compliance with safety regulations. The building experienced significant maintenance issues in late 2019, including emergency complaints about lack of heat and hot water affecting the entire building, as well as multiple reports of unsanitary conditions related to mold and pests. These complaints were not fully addressed by HPD due to access issues.
Additional concerns include fire safety violations from September 2019 regarding defective fire escape components and obstruction of egress with household items on balconies. In 2022, there were multiple complaints about unauthorized work in the occupied multiple dwelling, leading to a Partial Stop Work Order, and a subsequent ECB violation was issued for unpermitted installation of a storefront sign and ceiling tiles, with a penalty of $1,250 that remains active. The building's maintenance record raises multiple red flags, particularly regarding pest management and safety compliance, with many violations remaining unresolved as of 2025.
