AI summary · updated June 2026

731 Washington Avenue is a 5-unit, 3-story old law tenement building constructed in 1915 located in Crown Heights and currently owned by Avraham Ben Hamo. The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues throughout 2023-2024, with numerous emergency complaints filed between November and December 2023, some resulting in violations. The property has also faced sanitation challenges, including multiple complaints regarding garbage/recycling storage in late 2023, with violations issued in November 2023. More recently, in June 2025, the Department of Health confirmed rodent activity on the property, continuing a concerning pattern with previous rat sightings reported in 2023 and 2025, though the property passed inspections in 2023. The building currently has several open violations as of December 2023 related to safety notification requirements, including missing carbon monoxide detector notice, smoke detector requirements, and gas leak procedures, along with a specific heating issue in apartment 3R noted as a Class C violation.

The Department of Buildings records show a consistent pattern of inspection activity, with the most recent violations issued in 2023-2024 for failure to file external low-pressure inspections. While there have been multiple complaints about unauthorized work in 2024, inspections found no violations. The building's bedbug reporting history from 2023-2025 shows no infestations, with all units reported as either uninfested or fully eradicated. Rodent inspections present a mixed picture, with some showing "passed" status while others noted rat activity or failed for other reasons, showing both the building's ongoing pest management challenges and some periods of compliance.
