832 Washington Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238

832 Washington Avenue is a four-story, eight-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1920, currently owned by Iloka. The property has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant problems occurring in 2024, including multiple water-related issues (both slow and heavy leaks), ceiling damage, and door/window problems, all of which resulted in violations. The building's maintenance history shows persistent challenges with heat and hot water systems, particularly during early 2023 and continuing concerns about unsanitary conditions, including mold (2024) and past pest infestations (2023).

A partial stop work order was issued in February 2024 regarding unpermitted work, and there are currently three active Environmental Control Board violations from 2024 related to work without a permit ($2,530 penalty), cornice disrepair ($12,500 penalty), and boiler system deficiencies ($3,125 penalty). The building's more recent history shows some positive developments, including successful rodent inspections in 2025 and May 2024, though pest control measures were frequently applied between late 2020 and 2021. All bedbug-related reporting for the period from November 2022 to October 2023 indicated zero infestations. Notable violations include two active DOB violations from 2023 regarding the failure to file external low pressure inspection reports for 2021 and 2022.

The property has a documented history of infrastructure concerns, including a construction-related vibration complaint in April 2023 and multiple boiler-related issues in early 2023, with varying outcomes of inspections regarding violations. The building's management has shown varying responsiveness to complaints, with some HPD inspections unable to gain access for verification of reported issues. While many recent complaints have been promptly addressed, the frequency of maintenance issues suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and infrastructure. The property has undergone several inspections and received multiple citations over the past two years, indicating increased scrutiny of its maintenance practices.
