659 Washington Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238
The 2-family residential building at 659 Washington Avenue in Crown Heights, owned by Dominick Cappolla Jr., is a 3-story structure dating back to 1931. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, most notably a heat and hot water emergency complaint in January 2025, which was addressed by HPD within two days.
In 2018, the building faced two health-related incidents: a drinking water complaint that resulted in no violations, and a food spoilage issue that prompted official written notification to the owner from the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. Recent pest control records indicate a positive trend, with the building reporting zero bedbug infestations in the 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 filing periods, and no eradicated or re-infested units recorded.
The rodent inspection history shows mixed results: while the building passed an initial inspection in May 2023 and another inspection in May 2025, there was documented rat activity in May 2024, though a compliance inspection in November 2024 did not find any activity. The property currently appears to be maintaining better conditions compared to previous years, with no recent 311 complaints or violations recorded since the January 2025 heat and hot water issue.
