88 Kingston Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11213

88 Kingston Avenue is a four-story, three-unit residential building located in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, built in 1910 and classified as an Old Law Tenement. The property, currently owned by Shaquanna Brooks, has experienced several notable incidents over the past few years, with the most significant issues occurring between 2021 and 2024 involving food establishment violations.

The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) recorded three separate complaints during this period related to rodent, insect, and garbage issues, as well as concerns about unlicensed food establishment operations. All of these DOHMH service requests were eventually closed, with records indicating that the reported issues were addressed, though they took considerable time to resolve, with the most recent closures occurring in June 2024.

In addition to the health department concerns, the Department of Buildings received one complaint in March 2019 regarding the lack of proper permits, though this was investigated in May 2019 with no violations found. While the building has experienced multiple health-related incidents requiring intervention, it's worth noting that there have been no reported housing maintenance or safety violations in the most recent years leading up to July 2025, suggesting that while the property has had historical issues, there has been a significant gap in recent complaints.
