824 Washington Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238
The 7-unit, 4-story building at 824 Washington Avenue in Prospect Heights, owned by Ben Nehmadi, was constructed in 1920 and has experienced several concerning maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there appears to be an ongoing struggle with sanitation and pest control, with multiple complaints about garbage/recycling storage issues recorded in 2025, 2021, and varying reports of rat activity from inspections between 2017 and 2025. While the most recent HPD inspection in 2025 found no housing law violations in response to an unsanitary condition complaint, previous inspections have documented complaints about mold, pests, and authority notifications regarding rodent issues.
The building underwent significant violations in April 2021 where multiple issues in Apartment 1A were documented, including problems with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and a mice infestation, though these were subsequently addressed. Additionally, there is currently an open violation from April 2023 regarding the failure to file the 2022 external low-pressure inspection documentation. The building's bedbug reporting history shows mostly clear records from 2020 to 2024, with one instance of infestation in 2018-2019 that was reportedly eradicated.
Inspection records throughout this period indicate a mixed pattern of compliance, with some passing inspections but recurring issues with rat activity noted in 2017, 2020, 2021, and 2025. Various other maintenance concerns have been documented through 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code violations, including garbage storage issues, power outages, and problems with building systems, though many of these complaints were resolved through corrective actions or did not result in official violations. The building has maintained regular bedbug reporting compliance from 2020 through 2025, showing no current infestation issues, and appears to have addressed most major safety concerns, as evidenced by the closure of numerous violations and complaints.
