1106 Remsen Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11236

The two-story, 16-unit building at 1106 Remsen Avenue in Canarsie, owned by Eli Fisher and built in 1965, has experienced numerous maintenance issues and violations over the past two years, with particularly concerning problems emerging in 2025. The property has ongoing water-related issues, with emergency complaints about heavy flow leaks and multiple inspections in 2025 revealing problems ranging from slow leaks to heavy flow issues. The building has also faced persistent unsanitary conditions, including mold problems and pest infestations, particularly in apartment 2A, with violations issued that require owner remediation. Structural concerns have emerged as significant issues, with active violations from late 2023 documenting damage from a laundry room fire, including open ceilings, missing windows, and requests for structural stability reports that remain unresolved as of July 2025.

Multiple open violations from 2023-2024 regarding failed boiler inspections add to the property's documented maintenance challenges. The building's maintenance record shows a pattern of reactive rather than proactive maintenance, with many service requests resulting in incomplete inspections and unresolved issues. Recent 311 complaints and Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2025 have included multiple reports of water leaks, plumbing problems, and issues with windows and flooring. The property has received inspections for rodent activity throughout 2024-2025, with multiple instances of rat activity noted and bait applied, though a compliance inspection in January 2025 resulted in a "passed" status.

The building's current environmental violations include an active ECB violation from November 2023 regarding illegal parking regulations in a residential district, though this is primarily related to vehicles rather than building conditions. The property has undergone several inspections and received various citations for different issues, including door and window problems, plumbing issues, and sanitation concerns. While there have been some instances of successful resolution, such as inspections confirming compliance with certain housing laws, ongoing water leaks, mold issues, and structural concerns suggest persistent maintenance challenges that impact the resident experience. The building's bedbug reporting history from 2021-2024 indicates no reported infestations during this period, though this is separate from the current pest concerns documented in 2025.
