794 Washington Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238

794 Washington Avenue is a four-story, eight-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Prospect Heights and owned by Danny Asani. The building, dating back to 1910, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. In October 2023, a cluster of maintenance complaints were addressed, including problems with water leaks (heavy flow and damp spots), door issues, electrical outlets, flooring, and various paint/plaster concerns. Notably, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development issued violations related to door/window conditions and ceiling paint/plaster issues during this inspection.

The building has had ongoing insect/rodent management, with successful inspections recorded in 2025, 2024, and 2023, though there was one failed inspection in 2016. The property also has a documented history of bedbug infestations, with the most recent reporting period (2023-2024) showing no active infestations, following a single incident in 2022-2023 that was properly addressed. Recent health department involvement includes two inspections in 2024 related to food establishment concerns, though these appear to be limited to common areas rather than residential units. The building's maintenance history shows a mix of resolved and ongoing issues, with the most recent violations from October 2023 having been certified as corrected by November 2023.

These violations included issues with flooring, doors, plaster surfaces, and missing safety devices such as smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors in Apartment 2. While many maintenance issues have been addressed promptly, the building has experienced recurring problems with water leaks, door conditions, and interior surface maintenance. The property has maintained regular rodent inspections since 2016, with recent inspections passing successfully, indicating effective pest management. The bedbug reporting system shows an overall trend of successful eradication, though there have been multiple incidents over the years, with the last reported infestation having been eliminated properly.
