958 St Marks Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11213

The three-story, four-unit building at 958 St. Marks Avenue in Crown Heights, owned by Augustine Diji and constructed in 1896, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over recent years. Most concerning are the four open violations related to annual bedbug report filing requirements between 2021 and 2024, which suggest ongoing compliance issues with housing maintenance requirements.

The building has a documented history of heating system problems, with emergency heat/hot water complaints in November 2018, though these were subsequently closed. Multiple violations remain open regarding the building's physical infrastructure, including an unresolved issue from 2018 concerning improper access to the heating system in the cellar (Class C violation), a broken intercom system affecting Apartment 2, and various repair needs including defective concrete issues at entrances and stairs. The building's mechanical systems have faced scrutiny as well, with a boiler-related violation issued in December 2019 for failure to file inspection reports, resulting in an active ECB violation with a penalty of $3,125.

Historical records from 2009 and 2010 indicate rodent inspections failed "for other reasons," though the specific issues are not detailed in the available data. The property's relatively colorful history of maintenance challenges is marked by a mix of open and closed violations, with a particular cluster of issues emerging in 2018-2019 related to building systems and infrastructure. The most recent violations primarily concern documentation compliance rather than immediate health or safety concerns, though the pattern of open violations over multiple years suggests potential ongoing management challenges.
