70 New York Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216
70 New York Avenue is a 4-story, 8-unit residential building constructed in 1905, currently owned by Pinchos Jager. The property has experienced several recurring issues related to basic services and maintenance over the past year. Most notably, there was a significant heat and hot water outage in April 2025 that prompted multiple complaints, though heat and hot water were reportedly restored during inspections.
The building has also faced persistent sanitation challenges, with recent violations for garbage/recycling storage issues (June 2025), pest infestations, and mold problems. Multiple 311 complaints were filed in May and June 2025 regarding various maintenance issues, including problems with cabinets, plumbing (basins/sinks), and the bell/buzzer/intercom system, all of which resulted in HPD violations. The building's violation history reveals concerning patterns, including multiple instances of rat activity documented through rodent inspections between 2023 and 2025, with the most recent inspections in May and June 2025 showing ongoing issues.
Previous violations from late 2024 included inadequate heat in Apartment 1L, mold presence in Apartment 3R, and various system maintenance issues affecting building safety. The property also has an unresolved violation from 2019 regarding an annual boiler inspection report that was not filed, although no violations were found during a 2025 inspection related to boiler operation. While the building has maintained a bedbug-free status in recent reporting periods (2021-2024), the persistent issues with heating systems, sanitation, and rodent activity suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The most recent housing maintenance code violations from December 2024 included multiple infractions related to self-closing doors, excessive hot water temperature, and missing safety equipment in Apartments 1R and 3R.
