1528 Remsen Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11236

The 1528 Remsen Avenue property in Canarsie, a two-family house built in 1920 and owned by Alma Roman, has experienced persistent indoor air quality issues throughout 2024, with four separate complaints regarding chemical vapors, gases, and odors recorded between November and December 2024. These repeated air quality concerns, which have prompted multiple notifications to the property owner, represent the building's most significant and sustained health-related issue to date.

The building underwent a series of inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) in December 2023, which addressed multiple concerns including window frame conditions, cabinet issues, plumbing problems in the bathtub/shower, and safety system inspections for carbon monoxide and smoke detectors. While no violations were issued for the window, cabinet, and safety system inspections, the plumbing complaint did result in violations.

The building's history also includes emergency responses in December 2021 for electrical lighting issues and unsanitary mold conditions, both of which were resolved within two weeks. The cumulative record suggests ongoing maintenance concerns, particularly regarding air quality and plumbing systems, though most recent complaints have been addressed through advisories rather than formal violations.
