743 Washington Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238

743 Washington Avenue is a 2-family house located in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, owned by Rony Kravel and constructed in 1925. The property has experienced several maintenance issues over the past two years, with the most recent concerns centered around heating and appliance problems. In December 2024, there was a heat/hot water complaint that was reportedly resolved, and there have been recurring issues with the refrigerator, including an October 2024 complaint that could not be inspected due to lack of access and multiple violations identified in July 2024.

The building has undergone several inspections in 2024 that revealed multiple violations requiring attention, particularly in apartment 2, including problems with electrical outlets, water leaks, and issues with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Notably, there were also violations found related to a water leak and electric outlet in the kitchen, and the building failed several rodent inspections in 2024 and 2025, indicating ongoing pest control challenges. The property has shown some attention to resident health concerns, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past three reporting periods from 2021 to 2023.

Various building systems have been inspected throughout 2024, with some complaints being resolved without violations, such as issues with walls, ceilings, and plumbing fixtures. Of particular concern are the open violations from July 2024 related to a water leak in the kitchen ceiling, defective refrigerator gasket, and electrical outlet issues in apartment 2. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of both urgent and non-urgent repair needs, with some issues taking multiple months to address. While some complaints have been resolved promptly, others remain outstanding, suggesting a need for continued monitoring of building conditions and maintenance responses.
