1123 Avenue T, Brooklyn, NY 11223

1123 Avenue T is a two-story, four-unit residential property built in 1920 and currently owned by Mousa Lati. The most pressing current issues center around significant problems in the first-floor apartment, including an active water leak affecting both the bathroom and kitchen, visible mold in the bathroom, and multiple safety concerns such as missing carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and a self-closing door. The apartment also faces infestations involving bedbugs and cockroaches, with violations ranging from Class A to Class C in severity.

The building's recent history shows a pattern of maintenance and safety issues, particularly during 2020-2021 when multiple violations were recorded, including work done without permits and occupancy issues contrary to the building's certificate of occupancy. During this period, the property received several Environmental Control Board violations with penalties totaling $5,750 related to construction work and site maintenance. While many of these violations were resolved, the persistence of current issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.

A water leak-related complaint from August 2024, though initially classified as non-emergency, appears to have contributed to the current conditions. The building's history also includes earlier rodent activity noted in 2014, though recent bedbug and rodent reports for the past filing period (2022-2023) show no recorded infestations or activity. As of July 2025, there are multiple open violations related to the conditions in Apartment 1F, indicating that many of the recent 2024 housing maintenance code complaints have not been fully addressed, particularly regarding water damage, mold, pest infestations, and safety equipment deficiencies. This pattern of continuing violations, particularly involving basic safety systems and health concerns, suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and tenant safety compliance.
