199 Kingston Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11213
199 Kingston Avenue is a 16-unit, 4-story residential building located in Crown Heights, built in 1903 and currently owned by James Dimitriades. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, with multiple emergency complaints documented between 2020 and 2025 representing building-wide problems. Most recently, there was a mold-related sanitary complaint in February 2025 that HPD could not inspect.
While the building achieved rodent inspection compliance in 2019, there were several pest-related violations in 2021, including a Class C violation for roach infestation in apartments B2 and C3. The property has also faced maintenance and safety concerns, including a 2021 violation for inadequate access to the heating system and multiple complaints regarding damaged windows. Of particular note are several active Department of Buildings Environmental Control Board violations from 2018 related to unpermitted work and failure to comply with orders regarding repairs, with penalties totaling over $11,000.
These violations, though dating back several years, suggest potential concerns about the building's maintenance and compliance history. The property has maintained a consistent record of bedbug reporting compliance, showing zero infested units in the most recent filings from 2022-2024, though there was a documented infestation of three units in 2019-2020. Recent filings indicate improved pest control management, with no reported infestations or need for eradication in the past five years. The building has passed all recent rodent inspections and maintained regular bedbug reporting without significant recurrence of infestations since 2019.
