142 Utica Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11213
The two-family house at 142 Utica Avenue in Crown Heights, owned by David Benzakarya, has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues since 2018, though many concerns appear to have been addressed. Most notably, in 2018, there were significant plumbing and sanitation problems, including a sewage backup in the cellar that resulted in a $312 violation, though this has since been resolved.
The building has been relatively free of infestations, with no bedbug cases reported in the past five years (2020-2025), and passed rodent inspections in 2020 and 2024. More recent concerns include a currently active violation from June 2023 related to failure to file the 2018 External Low Pressure Inspection, and a 2020 DOHMH rat sighting report that was investigated but did not result in any violations.
The property has had several food establishment-related complaints between 2018-2024, including issues with bare hands in food handling and lack of permits, though these were ultimately administratively closed with no violations found. Two permits were issued for the property in 2018 and 2019, indicating some maintenance work was completed during this period.
