93 St Marks Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11217

Located in Prospect Heights, 93 St Marks Avenue is a three-story, seven-unit building constructed in 1874 and currently owned by Bushra Rashid. The property has experienced persistent challenges with compliance, particularly regarding annual bedbug reporting requirements, with open violations noted in 2021 through 2024. The building has also faced numerous Department of Buildings (DOB) violations related to external low-pressure inspections, with active violations issued between 2022 and 2024 for failing to file annual inspection reports from 2018 through 2023.

The building underwent significant construction activity between 2022-2023, which was accompanied by multiple environmental control board violations concerning safety and compliance issues, particularly regarding excavation safety requirements – though most of these violations were subsequently resolved. Recent complaints between 2023-2024 have included concerns about illegal work, electrical issues, and construction compliance, though inspections generally found no violations at the time. The property has a documented history of rodent issues, with the most recent complaint in 2020 resulting in a closed inspection that found only minor violations.

While some rodent activity was documented in 2013-2015, more recent inspections (2018, 2020) have passed. Recent construction activity has generated various complaints, including issues with debris, illegal after-hours work, and concerns about the protection of adjacent buildings. Multiple permits have been issued between 2021-2024 for various types of work, including plumbing and alteration projects, with the most recent permits issued in 2024. The building's age and history of construction work, combined with persistent compliance issues, suggest ongoing challenges with maintenance and regulatory adherence, though many previous violations have been resolved through inspections or permit corrections.
