259A Kingston Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11213

The two-family home at 259A Kingston Avenue in Crown Heights, owned by Imad Mujalli, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in July 2023, multiple violations were documented by the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), including problems with flooring/stairs, smoke detector safety, window frames, and window panes, along with an open complaint regarding ceiling paint/plaster conditions.

The building has also faced recurring rodent infestations, with four separate complaints filed between December 2022 and March 2023, three of which were closed due to earlier complaints about the same location, and one leading to identified violations requiring follow-up inspections. Additionally, there was an emergency heat/hot water issue in January 2020, which was promptly resolved within one day.

The building's documented issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly concerning basic safety systems and pest control. The most recent known violations, from July 2023, were all addressed and closed by mid-July, except for the open ceiling complaint. The property has undergone at least one inspection by the Department of Buildings in May 2022 regarding a permit-related matter, which resulted in no violations being warranted at the time of inspection.
