219 Neptune Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11235

The 5-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building at 219 Neptune Avenue in Brighton Beach, owned by 219 Neptune Ave LLC, has a concerning pattern of violations primarily related to maintenance requirements and pest control over the past several years. Most notably, from 2021 through 2024, the building has received four consecutive Open Housing Maintenance Code violations for failure to file the required annual bedbug reports, indicating a persistent oversight in complying with HPD regulations regarding this common pest management requirement.

Additionally, there are two active Department of Buildings violations that remain unresolved as of October 2023: one from 2019 for failure to file the 2017 boiler inspection report, and another from 2023 regarding an external low-pressure inspection that should have been completed in 2018. The building's history also reveals past challenges with rodent activity, with documented rat presence in July and October 2015, though subsequent inspections in December 2014 and October 2015 resulted in passing compliance results.

Earlier inspections from 2011 through 2012 showed consistent compliance with rodent control measures, suggesting some improvement in pest management during that period. The building, constructed in 1930, has maintained its original three-story structure and remains classified as a New Law Tenement under current building codes, though its maintenance record raises concerns about both regulatory compliance and potential resident discomfort related to pest management and building systems oversight.
